Primary teachers’ perception on selecting primary English textbooks

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of primary teachers on the process and criteria of selecting government-authorized primary English textbooks. Specifically it identifies the process of selecting English textbooks and its problems, and analyzes and compares teachers’ perception on the evaluation area and standards that they used. 90 primary teachers participated in this study. A survey was conducted to collect the data. For the data analysis, multiple response, cross tabulation analysis, t-test and MANOVA were used. The results were as follows: First, teachers of the textbook selection committee used the general standards developed and distributed by Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology the most to select an English textbook for their school. Second, most of the general standards were perceived as important factors in selecting textbooks. However, the scores of perceived value on the selection criteria were higher than those of applied value. This perception was also affected by teachers’ variables such as gender and teaching experience. Third, lack of time to review and analyze the authorized English textbooks appeared to be the biggest problem.
