A természet- és környezetvédelem, valamint a fenntarthatóság témakörök megjelenése a magyarországi biológia-tankönyvekben II. A biológia-tankönyvek elemző vizsgálata
The Representation of Nature Conservation, Environmental Protection, and Sustainability in Hungarian Biology Textbooks II: An Analytical Study

Summary/Abstract: This two-part study focuses on the themes of nature conservation, environmental protection, and sustainability. It explores how these issues are represented in the biology curricula based on the 2012 and 2020 National Core Curricula (NAT), in the requirements of the intermediate-level secondary school-leaving examination (érettségi), and in subject-specific (biology) textbooks. The analysis and comparative study were carried out in 2024 using document analysis. The first part of the study presents a textual analysis of the biology curricula and the examination requirements, while the second part centres on the content-focused analysis and comparison of biology textbooks. Given that sustainability and the protection of the environment and nature have been key topics in global discourse for many years – and have been integrated into both national curricula and local pedagogical programs accordingly – our research places particular emphasis on examining how these themes are addressed and represented in biology textbooks.
