3.1 Presentation of the material
My analysis is based on three textbooks for the 10th grade in Norwegian schools. The
textbooks were selected because they are currently most widely used. This information was
provided and confirmed by a marketing consultant at Gyldendal Undervisning (Gyldendal
Undervisning, personal communication, October 17, 2012). All textbooks are based on the
national curriculum The Knowledge Promotion, which has been the educational guideline
since 2006. A brief presentation of all three textbooks will be given in the next sections.
