Abstract

The school textbooks currently in use in Greek primary schools have been in circulation for almost twenty years. The design of the Interdisciplinary Unified Framework of Curricula, which was institutionalized by a state law in 2003, comprises the following elements for each class and for each individual teaching subject: a) the axes of the cognitive content, b) the general objectives of each teaching course (knowledge, skills, attitudes and values) and c) the fundamental concepts of the interdisciplinary approach, which are diffused in the texts of the school books. The general objectives provide general guidance for the design and formulation of the content of the textbooks and are grouped under three headings. One such axis is interpersonal communication, which pertains to the social skills that students are expected to develop. The objective of this research is to examine whether and to what extent the authors of textbooks published in Greece in 2006 and still in use today have contributed to the cultivation of communication skills in primary school students through the content of their teaching units.
