Abstract:

This study aims to empower mathematics teachers in evaluating textbooks through the praxeological approach and the development of a constructive skepticism attitude. Textbooks are often used without critical evaluation, which can hinder the development of students' critical thinking skills. The praxeological approach provides a framework based on practical experience, while constructive skepticism encourages in-depth analysis of textbook content. The study employed a qualitative method with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, involving 20 mathematics teachers in Sukabumi. Data were collec
