Los manuales escolares son parte fundamental de un sistema educativo, pero saber utilizarlos bien es más raro de que lo parece.
Más que simples exposiciones de temas, los buenos libros de texto constituyen medios eficaces para organizar la enseñanza, estructurar el aprendizaje, transferir conocimientos y desarrollar en los alumnos competencias de un modo efectivo. Albergan en su seno todo el potencial necesario para propiciar un aprendizaje significativo y contribuir a la base formativa de los escolares.
Este libro estudia los manuales escolares, abordando su evolución histórica, su uso actual y algunos principios eficaces para su redacción, selección y utilización, a la luz de las evidencias empíricas disponibles. Es una obra dedicada a editores, autores, profesores, estudiantes y responsables de políticas educativas.
