What do pupils and textbooks do with each other? Methodological problems of research on socialization through educational media
Abstract
School textbooks are assumed to be important socializers. However, because of the complexity and methodological stumbling blocks involved in the subject matter, the impact of specific textbooks and the interaction between pupils and textbooks have seldom been studied. I discuss the methodological problems in explorations of the role of school textbooks as agents of socialization, and suggest methods for exploring and understanding the dynamic interaction between textbooks and their readers.

Elementary school students tend to take the contents of their textbooks as unquestionable universal truths, a posture which can lead them to accept attitudes and visions of the world that justify inequalities.
“Elementary school students tend to take the contents of their textbooks as unquestionable universal truths, a posture which can lead them to accept attitudes and visions of the world that justify inequalities (Blumberg, 2008; Kalmus 2004; Sunderland et al., 2000; Oteíza, 2006; Van Dijk, 2003; Witt 2001).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
