dc.description	The objectives of this study were to investigate junior high school science and technology (S&T) teachers’ satisfaction levels in regard to the framework and content of volume one of the national S&T textbook for junior high school students and to examine differences based on demographic variables of the teachers. To achieve these objectives, a questionnaire with 184 items was mailed to all 56 junior high schools that selected the national S&T textbook.
