The 7th National Curriculum provides good environments for discussing about desirable structure of textbook. According to open education, constructivism, differentiated curriculum desirable textbook should proposes dontents in student-centered activity in situation and context, reflect the structure of knowledge, provide various teaching methods and includes various types of teaching-learning materials. In this viewpoint, Activity-based Appreach(ABA) to structuring contents in textbook, which thouches structure of knowledge, context and situation, is a strong alternative to traditional approach to textbook. ABA is needed to make student confront with meaningful context and academic inquiry at the same time, to change the role of teacher from as transmitter to as adviser and the role of student from as container of knowledge to as knowing agency.
