Abstract


This study investigated suitability and appropriateness of the social and national education guidebook for students in the first three grades (Grade 1, 2, & 3) from the point of view of their teachers. In the Jordanian education system, the social education textbooks have just been replaced with new guidebooks for social and national education. A Survey was distributed to (85) teachers, and (52) of these were also interviewed. The findings showed that teachers thought the guidebooks were strong in some points but lacking in others. The study recommends the following in light of the results: social and national curriculum standards, taking these National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies (NCS) into consideration as well as involving additional variables. Further research could investigate the teacher’s guidebook curriculum with content analysis.
