Analysis of Visual Components in Lower-secondary Biology Textbooks in the Topic Vertebrate Zoology
Šindelářová, Barbora ; Vojíř, Karel (advisor) ; Říhová, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis deals with visual components in science textbooks for primary schools, focusing on the topic of vertebrate zoology. The aim of the thesis was to conduct a quantitative analysis of the components in primary school science textbooks with the approval of the Ministry of Education and to determine the extent to which different combinations of visual elements occur. Individual parameters of visual components such as type, form, function, angle or distance of the elements were analysed. The quantitative analysis method allowed for a systematic evaluation of the components in the textbooks evaluated. The results showed that most of the images in these science textbooks are the same and there is often significant uniformity. This suggests that visual components are underutilized to support learning. Thus, the findings could serve as a starting point or support material for improving the visual design of science textbooks not only for primary but also for secondary schools.
