Some techniques used in textbooks for the first time (Structured Grid (SG), Diagnostic Tree (DT), Concept Maps (CM), Word Association Test (WAT)) were examined to investigate whether they obtained the required features. The sample of this study consisted of the textbooks written for periods of 2009-2010 educational year and after by a commission selected by the Head Council of Education and Training. Document review, a qualitative data collection method, was used in the study. SG, DT, CM and WAT techniques found in the textbooks were examined individually to see whether they carried the required characteristics. The results show that some of the techniques used in textbooks are entirely suitable however some techniques do not obtain or partially obtain some technical features. Assessment and evaluation approach reflected in the textbooks were discussed according to the findings. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
