| Abstract | ||||
| The aim of this research is to examination of and analyzes the content of the science textbook used in first and second grades during the previous year. The analysis aims to identify the book’s strengths and weaknesses, evaluate its scientific accuracy and clarity, and assess its suitability for engaging young learners. The research employs a content analysis approach, involving a thorough examination of two units of the book’s content, one in the first semester and the second one in the second semester, language, and pedagogical strategies. The analysis will identify key themes, assess the presentation of scientific concepts, and evaluate the effectiveness of activities and illustrations in promoting student understanding. The findings of this study will be presented in a comprehensive report. This report will highlight areas where the book excels in fostering scientific curiosity and knowledge acquisition. Additionally, it will identify areas for improvement, such as potential inaccuracies, unclear explanations, or a lack of age-appropriate engagement strategies. This study investigates the effectiveness of two curriculum units from a sixth-grade science textbook, one from the first semester and one from the second. The research focuses on student perception and utilizes a questionnaire to assess their engagement, understanding, and overall learning experience with each unit. By analyzing student responses, the study aims to identify strengths and weaknesses in the curriculum design, particularly in fostering scientific curiosity and knowledge retention. The findings will contribute to discussions on improving science education at the primary level, informing curriculum development and teaching practices that promote a more engaging and effective learning environment for young scientists. This analysis will contribute valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers seeking to improve the quality of science education for primary school students. The identified strengths and weaknesses can inform revisions to the existing textbook or guide the development of future science resources for young learners. | ||||
