The Influence of the Gap between Educational Goals and the Content of Social Materials on Promoting National Values and Awareness among Primary School Students

Abstract

The present study aims to identify the influence of the gap between educational goals and the content of social material books for the primary stage on national awareness. To achieve the objectives, the descriptive approach is adopted. After collecting the research data, classifying them, and treating them using the statistical program (spss), the present study found: 1) The content of social subjects does not cover the practical aspects of the educational objectives in the expected or appropriate manner for contemporary educational philosophy. 2) Promotion of national awareness and values and their desired dimensions of teaching these subjects is weak. Accordingly, the two researchers recommend that it is necessary to really include and represent general educational goals in the content of social books.
