Açıklama This paper examines the relationship between globalization and national identity in textbooks of social science courses in elementary, junior, secondary and pre-university. Nowadays, although the dominant idea demonstrates a certain kind of cultural orientation; general cultural orientation is also reproducing a continuous process with emphasis on the cultural adaptability and understanding in a parallel way. Multi-ethnic communities in order to achieve a systematic balance of national identity with the emphasis on general cultural orientation at home and production of multiple identities should increase their competitiveness and modernization. However, the nationalist discourse in Iran which has also been included in the curriculum is based on a radical "Ethnocentrism" that does not allow diversity and cultural fusion to exist, on the contrary attempts to destroy the cultural and ethnic differences. In this paper, the author challenges this issue and presents cultural and educational strategies on quality of national identity tailored to the information age and globalization. In the first part of the paper, theories of globalization and national identity and their contrast are discussed through theoretical approaches. In the second part of the study, using document and content analysis, he evaluates and approves concepts such as xenophobia, one-side oriented positive self-inductance approach and the absolute position of Iran in the international system in primary to pre-university textbooks of the social sciences. The third section is devoted to providing solutions. Due to its relation with globalization, civil nationalism in the field of national identity is discussed herein which can pave the way for textbooks to remain ethnocentric.
