Abstract

The research was conducted with the aim to obtain the information about: (1) the meaning of a text book for the teachers in mathematics learning at SMK Negeri 1 Kebumen. (2) The criteria of selecting a text book for the teachers in mathematics learning at SMK Negeri 1 Kebumen. (3) The use of a text book for the teachers in mathematics learning process at SMK Negeri 1 Kebumen; and (4) the obstacles which are faced by the teachers in using a text book in mathematics learning.

This research is descriptive qualitative research. The research was done at SMK Negeri 1 Kebumen. The data collection used in this research are observation, interview, and documentation. The data sources of the research are informants (mathematics teachers), documents (text book), the setting and the event (class and learning process). The data analysis used is interactive analysis which consists of three phases: data reduction, data performance, and giving conclusion. The research shows that the text book has essential meaning for the teachers. (1) The text book can be functioned as the learning source and learning media of mathematics.
