IARTEM

The International Association for Research on Textsbooks anda Educational Media

The first independent and non profit international platform for educational texts and media issues.

The International Association for Research on Textbooks and Educational Media is a non-profit organization, independent of any institutional or commercial interest. The registration office is in Paris, on the premises of the Institut national de recherche pédagogique, 29 rue d´Ulm, 755005 Paris.

Why is IARTEM important?

Nowadays everybody is constantly surrounded by texts and images. Until recently it was only in schools that these texts and images were made common to entire generations. But the last few years have brought about some changes.

Learning outside school

Learning outside school has become a more and more important factor in many countries. Due to new technological possibilities educational scenarios will change in the near future, and more and more young people will have access to the new media confronting them with new sorts of texts and images. In many countries young people engage less in traditional reading. All these development lead to new requirements with respect to the quality of educational texts.

Educational texts

Bad educational texts are a calamity for any nation and for every international community, good quality texts are a bonanza and an investment in the future of many nations. You cannot change the attitudes and ways of people who use educational texts. What you can change, however, is the quality of textbooks, as well as the concept of educational texts themselves. These texts therefore need the awareness of students, teachers, writers, publishers and researchers.

IARTEM - main purposes

• To promote research on and understanding of textbooks and educational media.
• To establish regular contacts with all the parties interested in educational media and textbook issues.
