The Impact of the Palestinian Education on Palestinian Culture; a Study Based on Freirian Approach The 11th grade Palestinian Social sciences and Languages School Books -A critical cultural study رسالة ماجستير

Abstract

For the first time in history, the Palestinians wrote their own school curriculum after Oslo Agreement, yet they missed the opportunity of a liberating education. This research explores to which extent three Palestinian 11th grade schoolbooks are designed to convey the liberating concept of education through analyzing the content context, the questions posed, and the praxis embodied within the texts. It uses the qualitative approach as methodology through content analysis and interviews to conclude that the Palestinian schoolbooks follow the banking concept of education, which creates a submissive cultural pattern of thinking, and generations of followers rather than creators, problem solvers, and critical thinkers
