Studying environmental concerns in high school textbooks and presenting a strategy for introducing the capacity of knowledge-based companies active in this field within the framework of looking to the future in chemistry textbooks
The purpose of this research is to study the environmental concerns of secondary school textbooks and to present a strategy for utilizing the capacity of knowledge-based companies active in the field of environment within the framework of ‘Looking to the Future’ in chemistry textbooks. Accordingly, first, the content of secondary school specialized textbooks was examined and analyzed in terms of paying attention to three general components and 20 minor environmental components. In the next stage, by identifying knowledge-based companies active in the field of environment, the extent of overlap of the activities of such companies with the analyzed content of the textbooks was examined. The results show that the environmental components that are mentioned in basic science textbooks, especially in chemistry textbooks, overlap with the priorities of the company-based companies in terms of importance coefficient rank, but they are not necessarily ranked the same. Based on the results obtained, textbooks can provide a framework called ‘Looking to the Future’ not only to introduce examples of the activities of knowledge-based companies active in the field of environment according to the analysis conducted in this project, but also its presence in textbooks will be an objective and motivating example. On the other hand, the results indicate that balanced attention has not been allotted to environmental components in textbooks.
