The master thesis in the first part provides basic information about textbooks and additional learning materials, such as pictures, audio and video recordings. All textbooks must be approved by the state. Schools are obliged to use only approved textbooks. The master thesis shortly describes approval procedures. Further catalogues of approved textbooks and distribution of textbooks to primary schools are described and analysed. The second part analyses results of research on differences among approved textbooks for the Slovenian language for the first, third, sixth and eight or ninth grades for the school years 1987/88, 1997/98, 2007/08 and 2017/18. In the final part, teachers from primary school in Tržič are interviewed on how they decide which textbook to use and how they use them for teaching.
