- Abstract
The article investigates the use of textbooks in high school biology teachers' classrooms in the U.S. Three teachers were identified as textbook-centered and the other three were identified as multiple-reference teachers. The purpose of this investigation is to observe and document the teachers practices in the context of textbook orientation. This investigation also seeks to ascertain if the nature of teachers' textbook use reveals relationships between factors indicative of the biology education desired state or actual state criteria. In addition, this study tries to identify factors other than textbook orientation, such as philosophy, personality traits, or instructional style, that might enable teachers to better align themselves with the biology education desired state criteria.
