Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of text activity, images and activity-oriented coefficient of old system books (Biology and Laboratory1, 1394 edition, Biology and Laboratory 2, 1395 edition) and new system biology textbooks (Biology1 , Published in 1396 and Biology 2, published in 1396) based on the technique of William Rumi. The statistical population in the present study is the whole book of Biology and Laboratory 1, published in 1394, Biology and Laboratory 2, published in 2016, Biology 1, published in 1396 and Biology 2, published in 1396. The statistical sample was 60% of the text and images of each of the above books, which were randomly selected using the Random Between function in Excel. Then, according to the characteristics presented in William Rumi technique, the text, images and activation coefficient of the statistical sample were examined. The results show that in the text section, none of the books studied are active and practically do not involve the student in the content, but the books of the new system have more active content than the books of the old system. In the images section, among the books studied, the images in Biology 1 have active content, but other books do not have active content. Although it does not have active content, the coefficient of activeness of the images in the book Biology 2 is higher than the books of the old system. Statistical results show that Biology 2, in contrary to the other books, is activity-oriented.
