Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book is about textbooks, textbook quality and quality standards of textbooks. From a theoretical point of view, in the light of Bahtins theory of speech genres, school textbooks are seen as a specific, complex genre, defined by the addressee. At the same time, this approach requires us to see textbooks as a cultural product. From an educational point of view, textbooks are, according to Vygotskys theory of cultural development, a key socio-cultural aid to cognitive development in school years. Forty-three quality standards are operationally defined and explained. They can be used for compiling textbooks, for textbook accreditations, for textbook evaluation and for selection by teachers. How to select really good textbook (how to improve the textbook quality) Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
