Overview

Ecosemiotic analysis highlights environmental issues in Grade XII textbooks, suggesting improvements for ecological literacy.

Key Points

  • The analysis reveals that some textbook images promote ecocentric values, while others favor anthropocentric views, potentially limiting ecological awareness.
  • Ten images were studied, showing a lack of colorful visuals and limited environmental content, which can hinder student engagement with ecological issues.
  • This observational study applies Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics framework to analyze semiotic resources in the textbooks.
  • The findings call for integrating more transdisciplinary and ecocentric perspectives to align with sustainable development goals in education.
