Abstract: This paper is a review paper; the review paper intends to briefly analyze progress in a specific area. In the present study, the researcher has surveyed the literature accessible on the content analysis of science textbooks from different countries. The present paper aims to explore the major focused area of science textbook analysis in the 21st Century, with this researcher surveyed 25 studies conducted between the years 2000 to 2018. The researcher categorized the surveyed literature based on six validation criteria of the science curriculum, proposed by the National Curriculum Framework 2005. The finding shows that the most concerned field of science textbook analysis in recent years is related to environmental and ethical issues. The available literature reviewed by the researcher also reveals, most studies confirm that science textbooks fail to serve the real purpose of science education.
