Abstract: (2076 Views) |
The purpose of this study was to analyze the content of social studies textbooks of elementary school based on multicultural education. The research method was quantitative content analysis. The statistical population of the study was social studies textbooks of the second elementary school. The statistical sample was also social studies textbooks of the second elementary school. The data collection tool was a multicultural training component checklist that extracted based on literature. The results show that the most attention and frequency related to the component of the reflection of ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity (53 cases) and the least frequency was in components of approximation to other religions (0 case), Anti-discrimination and racial prejudice training (0 case) and equal distribution of resources and educational opportunities (0 case). Since elementary school textbooks have received little attention to multicultural education and components such as non-racial bias, and equitable distribution of educational resources, it is expected that curriculum developers at the national level pay more attention to these components in the new curricula.
