Impressive or effective? An analysis of the visual properties of early childhood education textbooks in the context of the recommendations of the cognitive theory of learning

Summary/Abstract: Textbooks have for years held a dominant position among the teaching resources used in the educationsystem, being so common that it is difficult to imagine a school without them. Research on textbookshas scarcely addressed their visual layer, often recognising that the greatest influence on theeffectiveness of these materials is the content and the method adopted. However, research conductedwithin the framework of the cognitive load theory and the cognitive theory of multimedia learningdemonstrates that the visual form of educational materials can influence the effectiveness of learning,particularly for beginning learners. The article presents the results of an analysis of three papertextbooks and one e-book for early childhood education that are commonly used in Polish publicschools. The text is also a form of reflection on the reason for the decrease in the level of design andthe lack of interest in a scientific approach to textbook design.
