Educational Values Included in Arabic Language Curricula for Primary School Students in Galilee's Arab Society

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the educational values included in Arabic language curricula for primary school students in the Galilee region. During the academic year 2022/2021, the study population consisted of all Arabic language curricula in the primary educational level in the Galilee region. The study sample consisted of Arabic language curricula for fourth grade, school year 2021/2022. The researcher made a list of values consisting of (46) values classified into (8) major categories, which are as follows: (Moral values, mental values, belongingness values, social values, aesthetic values, practical values, health and environment, and recreational values). According to the findings, the field of mental values had the highest frequency, accounting for (233) frequencies and accounting for 20.65% of the overall frequency of total values, while the field of belonging values received the least frequency, reaching (59) frequencies and accounting for (5.23 %) of total frequencies. The researcher suggested re-balancing the values in the Arabic language curricula in terms of their distribution across the eight main value domains and their distribution to the curricula units, as well as paying attention to the process of including in the Arabic language curricula the various activities that contribute to the acquisition of values for students.
