Bu araştırmada, ortaöğretim fizik ders kitaplarının sahip olması gereken eğitimsel kriterleri belirlemek ve bu kriterlere göre ders kitaplarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, belirlenmeye çalışılan kriterler, ülke gerçekleri doğrultusunda Amerikan Bilimi İlerletme Kurulu (American Association for the Advancement of Science-A.A.A.S-) tarafından hazırlanan Proje-2061\'den uyarlanmıştır. İlk olarak bu kriterlere göre fizik ders kitapları incelenmiş ve örneklerle değerlendirilmiştir. İkinci olarak, bu kriterlere göre hazırlanan likert tipi bir anket formu 15 farklı lisede ve 43 fizik öğretmenine uygulanmıştır. Uygulanan bu anketin alfa güvenirlilik katsayısı 0,82 bulunmuştur. Araştırmanın sonucunda yedi ana eğitimsel kategori belirlenmiştir. Bu kategoriler 1. Amaçları Ortaya Koyma, 2. Öğrenci FikIn this research, determining the educational criteria for science textbooks in secondary schools and for evaluation of these books according to these criteria is aimed. These criteria are adapted from Project-2061 organized by American Association for the Advancement of Science (A.A.A.S.). Firstly, physics textbooks was examined and determined with examples, according to these criteria. Secondly, a likert type questionnaire prepared according to these criteria was applied to 43 physics teachers in 15 different schools. The alfa reliability coefficient of this questionnaire is found as 0,82. As a result of this research, 7 major educational categories are specified: 1.Providing a Sense of Purpose, 2. Taking Account of Student Ideas, 3. Engaging Students with Relevant Phenomena, 4. Developing and Using Scientific Ideas, 5. Promoting Student Thinking about Phenomena, Experiences anFen Fizik Eğitimi, Fizik Ders Kitapları, Eğitimsel Tasarım.Science Physics education, physics textbooks, instructional design. Tam Metin
