This study, devoted to establishing a checklist for textbook selection, consisted of three dimensions, including formulating selection regulations, organizations and members, and selection procedures. The checklist was employed to investigate the operational status of textbook selection for Taiwanese elementary schools. The textbook selection checklist established for this study consists of 20 items and 84 sub-items. Most sub-items were determined to be appropriate, reasonable, and highly important by participants. Although some sub-items related to members involving textbook selection, post-selection and post-adoption evaluation implementation, and textbook selection research were graded as less important by participants, it was determined that keeping the sub-items on the checklist would be helpful for promoting appropriate textbook selection. Schools that participated in the textbook select investigation found the majority of items were acceptable, but an ideal situation is rarely realized. In addition, some problems, such as imperfect formulating of textbook selection regulations, divergences between selection regulations and actual operations, lack of improvement in the operational system over time, not noticing existing defects and irrationality, and poor implementation of better ideas or practices on textbook selection, were existed. |
