Analyses of values and norms in biology textbooks for secondary education have been published in recent years, either as undergraduate theses or in research reports. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the methodological aspect of this type of analysis. This article discusses a method presented by Maurer which is claimed to be generally applicable but which, according to the present author, is itself based on ideological values and norms. Next the author presents a method developed by Ter Borg which, contrary to Maurer’s method, includes an analysis of the researcher’s own values and norms.
