- W203440891 abstract "Are you one of the Nation's teachers who is being held increasingly accountable for students' test scores and achievement of instructional standards? Most likely, you are. If so, your first question likely is How do I do it? Many teachers have found the best approach is to use a long-proven instructional material: the textbook. This is particularly the case with the much improved agricultural textbooks that are available today and the new approaches in using them. Research reported in the MarchApril 2001 (Lee, Pp. 6-7) and the November-December 2001 (Lee, Pp. 1213) issues of The Agricultural Education Magazine dealt with relationships of achievement test scores to how the students were taught. Various attributes in the instructional environments of agriculture teachers in the United States were studied. Those familiar with agricultural education are well aware of many of the strategies that are used. Astonishingly, using textbooks as an integral part of the instructional process resulted in much higher student standardized test scores than other techniques in teaching. Increasingly, the use of appropriate textbooks pays big dividends in student achievement! This article will focus on two areas related to textbooks: selection and use. By following a few simple practices, you can increase student test scores and provide evidence of accountability in the agricultural education instructional program. Selecting Agriculture textbooks are much better today than just a few years ago. The research-based improvements have resulted in the authors and publishers working together to better meet the needs and interests of students and teachers. Most of today's textbooks are not, as one teacher said in a recent national study (Lee, 2005), boring. With the exciting features in the textbooks available today, boring most likely results from improper selection and use. What should I consider when selecting a textbook? is an important question. Funds for buying textbooks are limited. You want to choose and use those that best meet interests and needs. Here are a few features to consider when selecting textbooks for agriculture classes: * Curriculum fit-The textbook selected for a particular class should cover the essential content and skills information included in the class. This relates to curriculum and standards for the class that may be provided locally or on a state-wide basis. In looking at fit, remember that today's textbooks are outlined and developed using state standards and curriculum guides as the basis for content and sequence. Overall, there should be high correlation between the standards for a class and the content of the textbook that is selected. * User friendliness-The textbook selected for a class should be friendly to the students and teacher. This means that students and teacher are comfortable with the content, scope, and layout of the book. It is easy to use yet challenging in learning outcomes. * Student appeal-A textbook should be appealing to students. Student appeal is influenced by colorful images and layout as well as the use of youthful models in the photographic illustrations. Research has shown the use of student models in illustrations is of high appeal among student users. * Illustrations-A textbook should be appropriately illustrated with photographs and line drawings. These must show approved and safe practices as well as provide for well-being of organisms and the environment. Student focus groups have repeatedly indicated that they like to see young people depicted in the images. * Up-to-date content-A textbook should be current in both content and illustrations. Out-of-date information may lead to inaccurate information in the teaching-learning process. The photographic images also convey a feeling of how up-to-date a textbook may be. * Readability-The reading level of a textbook should be appropriate for the grade level of the students in which it is to be used. …" @default.
