Abstract

 

The aim of the study is to evaluate the current condition of textbooks for pupils of secondary vocational schools and high schools within their technical education. We have focused on the contextual and didactical view of the textbooks as well as working with them and their structure. The survey was realised via an expert method and the survey sample was represented by first-year university students of the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology in Trnava, Slovakia. The survey was realised as a part of KEGA Project 026STU-4/2011: ‘Quality Assessment Model of Vocational Education and Training at Secondary Vocational Schools in Slovakia’.
