Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the principles of human rights in the Arabic language textbooks for secondary level in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the extent to which Arabic teachers explained these principles through methods and strategies of teaching Arabic language, and how secondary grade three students internalized these principles. The sample of the study comprised 12 textbooks, 64 teachers and 266 students. Content analysis and descriptive survey methods were used to analyse the data and three research tools namely, content analysis, two instruments; one each for teachers and the students were also used. The results of the study showed that the Arabic textbooks covered the principles of human rights well, except few of them, the teachers partly explained these principles and that the students averagely internalized the principles too. According to these results, it was recommended that the curriculum planning be reviewed to explicitly support the principles of human rights. Also, the in-service training programs be provided to treat the neglected parts related to the principles of human rights.
