| Abstract: | This study examines the differences between teachers' and students' perceptions of textbook usage in the science classroom.
Four categories of use were identified: teacher directed student activities; teaching/studying guidance; as a source of information
for the user and as preparation for assessment. The results of the study show that differences do occur between teachers and
students with respect to their perceptions of the extent to which textbooks are used in the classroom and the purposes for
which they are used, namely as a teaching/studying guide and as preparation for assessment. The findings of the study should
be important to all those who use, write and publish high school science textbooks.
