Uporaba učbenikov za matematiko v osnovnih šolah: vzorci, preference in zaznave
Povzetek
Učbeniki so ključno učno gradivo in imajo osrednjo vlogo pri oblikovanju pouka v razredu, zlasti v sistemih, v katerih njihovo uporabo predpisuje izobraževalna politika. Ta študija zato preučuje, kako osnovnošolski učitelji uporabljajo takšne predpisane učbenike pri pouku matematike. V anketi, v kateri je sodelovalo 294 učiteljev, smo raziskovali: i) pogostost in način uporabe učbenikov; ii) merila, ki jih učitelji upoštevajo pri izbiri med odobrenimi učbeniki; iii) njihove zaznave kakovosti učbenikov. Izsledki kažejo, da učbeniki sicer ostajajo prevladujoče učno gradivo, vendar jih veliko učiteljev dopolnjuje z dodatnim gradivom. Najvplivnejša merila pri izbiri so: didaktični namen učbenika, njegova usklajenost z učnim načrtom ter jasnost in raznolikost rešenih primerov in nalog. Čeprav so bili anketiranci na splošno zadovoljni z zdajšnjimi učbeniki, so poudarili tudi nekatere pomanjkljivosti: naloge, ki so za nekatere starostne skupine prezahtevne, omejena raznolikost vrst nalog in tehnične omejitve v digitalnih izdajah. Ugotovitve prispevajo k raziskavam o izvajanju kurikuluma, saj kažejo, kako učiteljeva izbira in odločitve posredujejo pri uporabi predpisanih učbenikov za matematiko, ter ponujajo vpoglede, pomembne za razvoj učbenikov in izobraževalnih politik v centralno reguliranih sistemih.
