The subjects comprised of 288 elementary school students of the 3rd year. 151 students used the booklet that was produced under the graphic design principles for the textbooks, while 137 ones used traditional textbooks. At the beginning and end of this study using 2x4 design, the achievement test and the scaling on attitude towards the course were applied to the students as the pretest and posttest respectively. The Formative Tests 1 and 2 were performed, three weeks and ten weeks later than the experiment. Interviews took place with a group of subjects as well as their teachers and parents on the books used for the study. The method of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to analyze the quantitative data. However, the qualitative data were organized by means of content analysis and categorical coding.
