Abstract
Scientific terminology plays a vital and fundamental role in both teaching and learning processes, as understanding the content of any science or discipline cannot be achieved without a deep comprehension of its terms. Therefore, the terminology included in the school manual must be precise and clear.
From this perspective, the present study aims to examine the geography textbook for the first year of middle school, identifying and analyzing the terms it contains through statistical and analytical methods. In parallel, we will also examine the Unified Dictionary of Geographical Terms and the foundations upon which it was compiled and constructed. The study seeks to answer the following research questions:
- To what extent do textbook authors utilize the terminology found in the unified dictionaries intended for general education?
- Are the geographical terms used in the textbook appropriate for the students' level, cognitive abilities, and prior knowledge?
- What methods are employed to clarify these terms for learners and to remove ambiguity?
