| Abstract: |
The aims of the presented research (which was supported by the Czech Science Foundation project No. GA 16-01003S) are: a) to identify lower secondary pupils’ preferences about visuals in geography textbooks, b) to design a prototypical textbook chapter accompanied with prototypical school atlas maps, based on evidence-based recommendations and reflecting pupils’ preferences, c) to evaluate the proposed educational materials on the sample of 20 lower-secondary school pupils.
The methodological frame of the study is based on Design-Based Research (Euler 2014). The study focused on the development of two key design principles (Edelson 2002; DBRC 2003): problem-based learning and developing visual literacy.
Content-specific recommendations for textbook developers were identified. They are transferrable to different topics across geography curriculum. Contributions to theory and practice of geography education were also generated.
