Textbooks for the Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian language and literature - review from teaching practice

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a survey conducted as part of a wider research (Kahvedžić 2022) on the structural models of teaching units in the textbooks of the Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian language and literature subject used in elementary schools in the Tuzla Canton. The corpus of that research and the conclusions drawn from it are part of a more extensive study (Kahvedžić 2022) that included more than 50 textbooks (with workbooks) in use over a period of about 20 years. The concrete analysis was carried out on three levels: grammar, literature and media culture/culture of expression. Here, it is pointed out exclusively to the part of that research in connection with the review from teaching practice, that is, to the feedback of the teachers themselves about the mentioned aspects of the textbooks that they use in their work. Considering the size of the corpus, we consider this research to be the initiator of a more extensive one, which, as an objective assumption, could expand the obtained results.
