This paper analyzes the one-guideline-one-version textbook andone-guideline-multiple-versions textbook using the perspective of Foucauldiandiscourse analysis. It points out that the discourse of returning to aone-guideline-one-version textbook produced a discourse space of interplayunder concepts of knowledge, power, and a specific social culture context.Furthermore, it discusses the local and central government’s three main pathsfor revision of the law—accommodating public wishes, responding to currentworld trends, and relieving economic pressure on students and households—asdiscourse strategies. Finally, it points out the absence of a voice for students,teachers, other countries and educational organizations within this process andexplicates the implications of the contention for textbook orientation in educationand policy making. |
