Abstract :
This article deals with socialization in high school social sciences' textbooks. We propose an examine use of Motahari educational ideas about socialization in textbooks. Motahari, as an intellectual leader, has an important role in explaining basic concepts of Islamic revolution of Iran. Motahari’s books and high school social sciences textbooks as statistical society and on census method, were studied based on paragraph unit analysis. We applied a mixed method of content analysis. For discovering components of socialization, we used qualitative method for content analyzing of Motahari’s books and find four components: social belonging; social responsibility; dialogue and communication, and critical thinking that extracted from thirteen categories. Then, by using a coding frame based on these components and categories, we use quantitative content analysis to obtain if these used in the social sciences textbooks based on exploratory factor analysis. Results show that there aren’t these components in many lessons of textbooks. Some of these results related to the educational aims of these books, because in these textbooks, students introduce with sociology discipline; but some related to weakness of consideration.
