Abstract

(The study aimed to assess Degree of inclusion of Sustainable Development’ dimensions in the content of science and life Textbook for the sixth grade in Palestine from teachers' perspectives. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, the research employed a questionnaire with 34 items covering environmental, social, and economic aspects. The sample consisted of 252 teachers, randomly selected from a total of 1179 for the 2023/2024 academic year. Results revealed a moderate mean score of 2.95, indicating the integration level of sustainable development dimensions overall. The social dimension ranked first, followed by the economic dimension, and the environmental dimension. No statistically significant differences (α ≥ 0.05) emerged in overall integration concerning gender, years of service, and specialization. Nevertheless, across all dimensions, variations linked to academic qualification favored master's degree holders. Gender influenced the environmental dimension, favoring female teachers. For social and economic aspects, differences were tied to years of experience exceeding ten. Lastly, specialization, especially in physics, influenced the environmental dimension).
