Private-sector publishers designed, edited, and published elementary and junior high school textbooks based on curriculum guidelines. These textbooks are reviewed and approved by the National Academy for Educational Research and chosen by schools to meet students’ learning needs and to be an important basis for assessing students' academic achievement. The textbook review and approval process greatly influence textbooks’ sourcing and editing. However, defining editors’ and reviewers’ responsibilities and solving the clash of opinions between these two parties are ongoing challenges administrators face during the review process. Editors worry that the review and approval process may limit creativity, whereas reviewers are concerned with textbook content and quality. At this stage, the urgent priority is assigning private-sector publishers responsibilities and systematically defusing the tension between editors and reviewers. By closely observing the administrative operation of textbook review and approval, this study aims to offer suggestions to both editors and reviewers. The research hopes to provide recommendations for the review and approval system to help editors manage textbook quality and demonstrate design features, help reviewers examine textbooks’ correspondence with curriculum guidelines and their accuracy of knowledge, facilitate editor-reviewer negotiations through systemic reform, and improve the diversity of textbooks’ content design. |
