Abstract

Cultivating the spirit of responsibility is one of the important social and cultural goals of education. Considering the emphasis of high-level documents on the education of the ideal citizen, the aim of the current research was to analyze the content of social studies books based on the indicators of responsibility and its different dimensions. The findings show that there were 148 cases of paying attention to responsibility training in these books, which are 491 pages; Out of these 148 cases, 74 cases (50 percent), 33 cases (22 percent) of the eighth grade, and 41 cases (27 percent) of the ninth grade have mentioned this concept. The most attention has been paid to the indicators of cooperation and cooperation in social affairs and preservation of the environment, and almost the most effective indicators for individual and social life, such as honesty and integrity, tolerance and effective social dialogue, avoiding extravagance, dignity Ego and respect for the law, respect for the values and norms of the society, etc. are ignored or very little mentioned in these books. In other words, it can be said that these books consider the cognitive dimension and the content of these books is not aligned with the social goals of the education system and the field of learning social studies.
