COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OLD AND NEW TEXTBOOKS IN PRIMARY CLASSES: A COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION OF EDUCATIONAL CONTENT EVOLUTION
Abstract
The evolution of educational materials is pivotal in shaping the learning experience of students, particularly in primary classes where foundational knowledge is established. This study conducts a comparative analysis between old and new textbooks used in primary education, aiming to evaluate the content evolution, pedagogical approaches, and their potential impacts on student learning outcomes. Through a systematic review and analysis of curriculum standards, content structure, teaching methodologies, and alignment with educational objectives, this research provides valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of both old and new textbooks. The findings highlight the importance of curriculum adaptation to meet the changing needs of learners in the modern educational landscape.
