Teacher Offloading, Adapting And Improvising With The Textbook – A Case Study

The study presented in this paper investigates how two mathematics teachers utilize textbook in a traditional curricular environment. Using Design Capacity for Enactment framework, we analysed four lessons, observed in each teacher classrooms. The results of the study showed that teachers used the textbook extensively in their teaching practice. Most of the time teachers offloaded lessons from the textbook for various activities: teaching a new content, practice exercises or homework. The teachers offloaded lessons on the textbook because the textbook supported their current teaching goals and was aligned with their beliefs for particular lessons. Other types of textbook utilization such as adapting and improvising were present but to a lesser extent. They were used when textbook did not satisfy teacher’s goals and beliefs.
