Abstract

The Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) has made changes to the content in mathematics textbooks to ensure that the textbooks produced are of good quality and able to meet the educational aspirations of this country. This systematic literature review aims to synthesize empirical studies on mathematics textbook research since 2002. This study is expected to improve mathematical achievement and produce students who are not only mathematically skilled but able to apply mathematical understanding in more complex situations. The methodology of this study is a systematic literature review method based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyzes) by using the databases of SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. A thorough search in the electronic database revealed 42 studies on mathematics textbooks published between 2002 to 2022 nationwide based on pre-established criteria. The results show that researchers in Asia and Europe focus on textbook research more than researcher elsewhere. The textbooks most frequently researched are mathematics books for primary schools. Textbooks' research topic consists mostly of numbers and operations, geometry, and algebra.
