Abstract

The units of analysis for this book-length study were student textbooks and teacher manuals. We wanted to add new insights and understanding to the field, while building upon and updating past scholarship such as that of Brombach and Tice (1994). We examined K–12 curricula from 2003–2012 in order to determine whether themes have stayed consistent or have changed from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, into the 2000s.
