A paper analyzing the visual representation of the water cycle in text books. Posted on 30 Jan, 2013 08:10 PM

In the recent times visual representation has acquired significant attention. These are in forms of photographs, sketches and schematic diagrams. At school level they are helpful in introducing abstract concepts in science. For this purpose they need to be appropriately integrated in the textbook. In the backdrop of this context this paper in Contemporary Education Dialogue is based on the analysis of the science textbooks of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and the Maharashtra State Board (MSB) for Classes 3–10.
