educational textbooks

Academic learning materials

Educational textbooks are books designed for formal instruction in schools, colleges, and universities.

They present subject matter systematically, typically organized by chapter with exercises, review questions, and supplementary materials.

The term distinguishes these from trade books or popular nonfiction: The professor assigned three educational textbooks and a novel.

Often shortened to just textbooks.
