Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the 1st grade Turkish textbooks and teacher’s manual
according to the opinions of experts from different fields. Experts’ opinions were taken by composing a group of
19 people and data was analyzed via document analysis technique. According to the results of this study, it was
concluded that inconsistency existed among the curricular components such as objectives, content, measurement
and evaluation; content was not well-structured; measurement and evaluation activities did not hold
qualifications for evaluation; most of the activities and visuals were not appropriate for the target group’s
development level; books included negative hidden messages and finally there were many language and
expression problems. Therefore, it is concluded that 1st grade Turkish textbooks and teacher’s manual should be
revised and redesigned by the responsible authorities in the framework of book design principles.
