Abstract

The present research aimed at investigating the availability of learning and innovation skills in the content of social studies textbooks for (seventh, eighth and ninth) grades of basic education stages in Palestine. The researcher adopted the descriptive approach. To achieve the study aims, the researcher prepared a list of learning and innovation skills and dimensions. Afterwards a content analysis card was prepared based on these skills to investigate their availability in the social studies textbooks of the three grades (seventh, eighth and ninth). For statistical treatment, frequencies and percentages were used. The results showed that the availability percentage of these skills with their four dimensions (creativity, criticism, communication and participation) is very high in the social studies textbooks of these three grades. The percentages in these three textbooks were (97.7%, 98.64%, 98.13%) respectively. In the light of the research results, the researcher presented a set of recommendations and suggestions..
