Analysis of Mathematics Textbooks - A Case Study: Comparison of Selected Sections from Greek and Singaporean Textbooks.
Summary:
In this study, a comparative analysis is conducted on the content of the 6th-grade Mathematics textbooks from Greece and Singapore, with the aim of identifying elements that distinguish their effectiveness as learning tools. In the main section of the study, the multidimensional analysis framework, proposed by Gracin (2018), is utilized to evaluate and compare tasks from selected units. Next, a comparison of the contents is made, regarding the quantity and organization of the material in both series of textbooks. Based on the results and the theoretical framework, the study examines the extent to which these textbooks provide wealth and equity of learning opportunities, as well as identifies the most significant differences between them. Ultimately, conclusions are drawn regarding the two Mathematics textbooks and recommendations are offered for future research on the effectiveness of Mathematics education in Singapore relative to the one in Greece.
