Abstract EN

This study aimed at exploring the involvement level of 6th-8th science textbooks in Jordan through: Content presentation, figures & diagrams, and activities.

The study also aimed at exploring the differences in the level of students' involvement in science textbooks according to the class level.

To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used Romy's method to calculate the students' involvement coefficients, and ChiSquare test to examine the differences of science textbooks involvement according to the class level.

The results of the study revealed that the content involvement of students in the three classes were all within acceptable range adopted by Romy, ranged between (0.52-0.85).

The results also revealed reduction of student's involvement of activities in all science textbooks, and the student involvement through figures and diagrams was good except the first part of 7th science textbook, where its involvement coefficient was (1.76), and its figures and diagrams did not provide enough data to inquiry.

The results also revealed that there were no statistical significant differences in all classes due to the content presentation and activities, and there were statistical significant differences in all classes due to figures and diagrams.

The study recommended to increase the interest of student's involvement of science textbooks, especially the activities, where its student's involvement was low.

It also recommended to conduct more analytical studies of science textbooks in light of the student's involvement.
