Abstract

Values in their various forms occupy an important place in education. Education has a value system that is instilled in the minds of its children from an early age and continues to be reinforced throughout the various stages of human development. Values also contribute to their mental, moral, and ethical well-being, regulate their desires, and protect them from intellectual, moral, psychological, and social deviations. The study aimed to identify the values included in the curricula of primary science school grades (1-3). The study utilized an analytical approach, specifically content analysis. The sample for the study consisted of textbooks for science grades 1-3. The sample was selected purposively. The research found several key findings and recommendations, including: 1.
