The main purpose of this article is to conduct a content analysis of Social Studies textbooks for junior secondary education with regard to the Family Protection Law (ratified in 2012). "Recognition of individual, social, and civic rights and responsibilities at various levels and the strengthening of related skills and attitudes," and "prevention of educational crises and social harms among children and adolescents and reduction of social deviance and expansion of normative behaviors," are two of the six main axes of the Social Studies curriculum that are emphasized for implementation. Accordingly, teaching students about laws — with attention to their educational level and comprehension ability — can substantially enhance students' legal literacy. In this article, Social Studies textbooks were subjected to descriptive content analysis with reference to a checklist of concepts derived from the Family Protection Law. Data were collected through documentary review of the legal concepts in the "Social Studies" textbooks for the junior secondary education, based on 110 legal concepts of the Family Protection Law, covering the text, images, and activities of these textbooks. The concepts of "family" and "law," relative to the Family Protection Law's concepts overall, had by far the greatest coverage, while 22 other concepts were identified with comparatively lower coverage. The frequency tables and charts of Family Protection Law content in the textbooks indicate insufficient and inadequate attention to this content, as well as the absence of a planned sequence for presenting these concepts. |
