The reality of the role of the Jordanian educational system in promoting international educational principles among secondary school students based on UNESCO principles

Abstract

The present study sheds a light on role of the Jordanian educational system in promoting international educational principles among secondary school students based on UNESCO principles. The study consists from 660 female and male teachers who were selected through the random stratified sampling method. The questionnaire consists from 48 items and sheds a light on 5 areas. These areas are: 1)-international education to promote respect for human rights and freedoms, 2)- international education to promote tolerance and friendship among nations, 3)-international education to preserve the environment, 4)- International education to promote justice and equality of opportunity between nations, 5)- education and international education to promote citizenship values.. The researchers found that the Jordanian educational system plays a moderate role in promoting international educational principles among secondary school students based on UNESCO principles. It was found that there isn’t any significant differences between the respondents’ attitudes which can be attributed to gender, academic qualification, and province. However, there is a significant difference in this regard which can be attributed to experience. When comparing the ones with 1-5 years and the ones with 11 years or more, the latter difference is for the favour of the ones with 11 years or more.
