520 $a Additional studies are needed to investigate other factors which influence teachers' decisions to use textbooks. To validate conclusions from this study, future research should incorporate classroom observations.
520 $a Educational researchers and observers have documented the importance of classroom textbooks and their dominant role in driving instructional programs. Reading and social studies literature support the need for the study of issues surrounding reading and textbook usage in secondary classrooms.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing teachers' decisions to use textbooks in United States history classrooms. Textbook use was investigated in terms of planning and preparing classroom instruction, student assignments, teachers' attitudes toward reading and student comprehension abilities, textbook quality, and alternative resources. A chi-square analysis was conducted to determine significant relationships between factors.
520 $a Results suggest that five factors influenced teachers' use of textbooks in United States history classrooms. The use of textbooks and dependence on them suggest significant relationships with teachers' attitudes toward reading, instructional decisions related to planning, student tasks, classroom experience, textbook quality, and use of alternative resources.
520 $a Teachers with favorable reading attitudes were less textbook dependent and more conscious of students' reading ability when preparing and planning instruction. Instructional decisions were classified into heavy and light textbook use. Textbooks had a major impact on course organization and content. Student tasks involved using textbooks as information sources for classroom activities. Nearly half of the class period involved textbook related activities. Textbooks defined the content of instruction and the tasks students were assigned. Findings indicated that textbooks were held in high esteem by older and more experienced United States history teachers who tended to be more textbook dependent. Social studies teachers determining textbook quality considered author, publisher, print size, bias, and textbook questions. In terms of using alternative resources, some teachers were restricted by their comfort level.
