Abstract:
The World Health Organization stated that violence could occur on the way to or form school/school-sponsored events, on the school premises or at school. It also suggested that preventing violence through curriculum-based activities is a central part of school-based violence prevention which involves working directly with learners to look at some of the root causes of violent behavior. In addition, the literature review revealed that some Egyptian stories are thick with vulgarity and vulgar terms. Secondary school teachers also use examples and exercises that lead to the same result. This contradicts with the goals of teaching the Arabic literature in secondary schools in Egypt, which is to develop morals among learners. The current study aims at examining these examples and identifies the negative effects of using such educational content and exercises. To achieve this goal, the current study used the content analysis method and analyzed the content of the Arabic literature textbooks at the secondary stage in Egypt in light of the objectives of teaching Arabic literature at that stage. It revealed an important result which is the current content of Arabic literature textbooks may lead to the development of violence among learners, so this content must be changed and another one should be built in order to achieve the desired goal of teaching the Arabic literature, which is the development of morals among learners.
