The purpose of this study is to scrutinise the types and scopes of analogies that are prepared in accordance with the curriculum for physics education and used in the physics textbooks of the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th classes. In parallel with this goal, we have sought answers to these questions:
a) How often are analogies used in high school physics textbooks?
b) What types of analogies are used in the books?
c) Is a description given of the analogue in the analogies used, with a definition of the strategy and its limitations?
