The content of textbooks is retained, amended, or deleted during the process of compilation and review. Textbooks are products of negotiation which reflect the interactions of ideologies and power relations between editors and reviewers. This study aims to analyze the knowledge transformation for elementary social studies textbooks in the process of textbook censorship. It applied qualitative content analysis to review three versions of elementary social studies textbooks. Each versions included drafted textbooks and review comments form. The findings revealed five aspects of knowledge transformations: (1) from text-centric to learner-centric logic, (2) from single perspective to multiple points of view, (3) from limited examples to diverse examples, and (4) from lower-level to higher-level questions, (5) reduction of political correctness and moral persuasion. Finally, this paper proposes several recommendations for textbook editors and reviewers. |
