- Abstract
The present research was conducted to find out the representation of natural phenomena of moon in the primary school textbooks of class I. The study mainly focused upon the different modes of printed moon concepts in the textbooks. Total six textbooks are taught in class I. This sample was taken from the federal board of Islamabad. The main objectives of this study was to find out the psychological and educational properties of science concepts related with moon presented in the textbooks and to check out its different modalities. For this purpose a detailed account of multiple analyses of textbooks of class I was carried out. The results revealed that implicit and explicit moon concepts instantiated in the textbooks failed to be helpful in the better understanding of the concepts of the children. The findings also showed that textbooks are contributing at a minimal level in the transmitting and transferring of the knowledge of the natural phenomena. The presented concepts have been discussed in terms of space, volume, illustrations, and pictures in different forms and modalities in the textbooks. Psychological and educational implications, future directions of the research, and limitations of the study have been discussed.
