Abstract

This article’s purpose is to find out the features of visual representations used in biology textbook about plant tissues structure and function. There were three biology textbooks analysed in this study. Those textbooks are published and used in High School biology classroom based on the current curriculum. The analysis was carried out towards two aspects, including the function of visual representation and its modes categories by identifying and comparing two aspects of the visual representation in the textbooks selected. Based on the analysis, it was included that by its functions, explanatory, illustrative, and complementary representations were likely more occurred in the textbook B.
