Content Analysis of elementary textbooks ,based on the global education components

This study is mainly a content analysis of primary education textbooks in terms of peace education as well as environmental and health education pursued by Unesco and Unicef as prerequisites of global citizenship education in the third millennium. In fact, ignoring world development has resulted in isolating the school from real life. Therefore, in this study primary education textbooks were examined as the most important learning resources in order to explore how well they are in line with world education elements. The methods used were the Shannon entropy and qualitative analysis. The unit of analyses were text, questions, exercises, and pictures of a total of 3349 pages of primary school textbooks. Results indicated that all world education elements were rather equally, yet insufficiently, treated in the textbooks. However, unbalanced attention paid to each element across different subjects.
