Abstract:
The aim of this article is to present the results of the content analysis of five Czech geography textbooks for lower secondary school, specifically the thematic unit of biomes. In the content analysis of the thematic unit, it was moni-tored which structural components are used to present the biomes of the world (title, explanatory text, visuals, learning tasks, summary) and which concepts are used for the presentation of individual biomes. The results of the analysis showed that the names of biomes differ considerably across textbooks publishers. The authors mainly use an explanatory text to present the curriculum. The content of the analyzed chapters can be considered rigid, focusing on the physical-geographical components of the geosphere. On the contrary, the socio-economic aspects of the regions are either greatly suppressed or mentioned by the au-thors in connection with the traditional way of life, not in connection with the cur-rent socio-economic situation. The authors of the chapters should conceptually change the interpretation of the biomes of the world, especially to strengthen the visual presentation of the curriculum with emphasis on current relationships and connections between the components of the geosphere.
