About this ebook
History of School Books explores how textbooks have shaped education, influenced learning, and mirrored societal values across time. It examines how the curriculum's development has been molded by these learning materials. Did you know textbooks weren't always standardized? The rise of uniform textbooks in the 19th century significantly impacted educational practices. Furthermore, these books are not neutral; they actively shape intellectual thought, challenging the idea of objective knowledge by revealing embedded biases and power dynamics.
The book approaches its subject chronologically, examining how educational philosophies and social contexts influenced textbooks' creation and reception through the ages, from ancient clay tablets to today's digital resources. It investigates the role of textbooks in promoting or challenging social inequality. The analysis is supported by primary source research, including historical textbooks, archival data, and educational policies, to offer a comprehensive understanding of the textbookâs impact on society.
