Analysing the Types of Visuals in Textbooks of Geography and German Language: Considering the Instructional Functioning of Photographs

Original language description

This study makes effort to analyse visuals as an essential part of school textbooks. Based on two related investigations the study compares frequencies of types of visuals in selected science (geography) and foreign language (German) textbooks which arecommonly used at Czech lower secondary schools. On the basis of a synthesizing approach the aim is to draw considerations about the instructional effectiveness of visuals in different school subjects. As a research method a quantitative content analysisbased on the systems of categories as a research instrument was used. The research sample consisted of 4 geography textbooks and 4 German as a foreign language textbooks for lower secondary schools. The quantification of categories of visuals showed a significant dominance of photographs in the analysed textbooks in comparison with other types of visuals. This finding may be interpreted differently in respect to both subjects (geography, German language).
