between Mathematics Curriculum and Textbook of Grade VIII in Punjab  \nAroona Hashmi *, Tariq Hussain**and Almas Shoaib ***  \nAbstract  \nThe curriculum document is considered to be the road map for the attainment of the national goals. For this purpose, the text books are developed in such a way that the contents presented in the books are aligned with curriculum document. The study was aimed to align the textbook of Mathematics (grade VIII) with reference to National Curriculum 2006 for Mathematics I-XII and Bloom’s taxonomy in Punjab. This study was qualitative in nature. The alignment level was measured through Surveys of Enacted Curriculum method [SEC].The content analysis protocol was developed by reviewing the literature, National Curriculum 2006 for Mathematics and Mathematics text book developed by Punjab curriculum and Textbook Board [PCTB] . The content analysis protocol was validated in the light of opinions from two curriculum specialist and two assessment experts. The outcomes of the study revealed that the textbook of Mathematics at grade VIII was not properly developed, as instructions were stated in the National Curriculum for Mathematics (2006) . There were so many gaps found between the students learning outcomes as mentioned in the Curriculum and the content (units of the book) . The study suggests that curriculum needs to be revised and continuous evaluation is required to maintain the standards of the Curriculum.  \nKeywords: Alignment, National Curriculum Mathematics, Surveys of Enacted Curriculum method, Textbook.  \n* Assistant Professor, IER, University of the Punjab, Lahore.

It is durable, permanent, portable and having no need of electricity or electronic device while using (Sunday, 2014) . Text book is the most important device in teaching-learning process (Aziz & Zain, 2010; Oakes & Saunders, 2002; Spillane, 2004) . It decided whether the content meets desired students’ needs on long-term basis. Textbook is primary tool and the basic source to implement the curriculum suggested and written by the Government. Mahmood (2010) defines the term “textbook” as an authentic material to be presented in classroom. According to Wen-Cheng, Chien-Hung, and Chung-Chieh (2011) textbooks offer guidance about course and activity design to novice teachers; it assures a measure of structure, consistency, and logical progression in a class. For the proper implementation of any curriculum, text book is an integral part of the education system and cannot be neglected (Mahmood, 2010) .  \nMathematics is often considered as a difficult subject to teach and learn. Students usually took math as a boring and complex subject on the other hand teachers also took this subject challenging and complicated and need to acquire greater skills to teach (Gafoor & Kurukkan, 2015; Jameel & Ali, 2016; Ma & Xu, 2004; Liu & Koirala, 2009).Properly written and high quality books can play a vital role to improve mathematical skills of students. Allington proved in his research that students’ learning is directly affected by the quality of textbooks ( 2002) . In this advanced era, math and science become essential to produce successful students and to cope with the challenging world outside. Moreover, Students’ interest in math makes them able to take complete advantages from the career options in future (Gravemeijer, Stephan, Julie, Lin, & Ohtani, 2017) . Thus, it is mentioned in the National Curriculum for Mathematics (2006) that to improve student’s mathematical skills, properly written and high quality books can play a vital role. This advanced era math and science become essential to prod","cbCaiuyA5aAymW0E","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuyA5aAymW0E","pdf",234648,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of aligning the Grade VIII Mathematics textbook with the National Curriculum 2006?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to align the textbook contents with the curriculum document so that students’ learning outcomes and the textbook units match the intended curriculum standards.\"},{\"question\":\"How is curriculum-textbook alignment measured in this study?\",\"answer\":\"Alignment level is measured using the Surveys of Enacted Curriculum (SEC) method, supported by a validated content analysis protocol.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes does the study report about the Grade VIII Mathematics textbook?\",\"answer\":\"The outcomes indicate the Grade VIII mathematics textbook was not properly developed, with many gaps between the curriculum-stated learning outcomes and the book’s content.\"}]","Alignment between Mathematics Curriculum and Textbook of Grade VIII in Punjab | PDF",1792081861]
