Content Analysis of Identity Concept in Sociology Textbooks 1 and 2 High School (Literature and Human Sciences)

This paper examined the concept of identity in sociology textbooks taught at the first two years at high schools. The examination of textbooks revealed that the authors focused on individual identity in Sociology (1) and stressed national identity in Sociology (2) while ignoring ethnic identity among other identities. The present study was aimed at exploring dominant approach in dealing with identity in sociology textbooks in the Iranian multi-ethnic society. Documentary study and content analysis was used for examination. National identity followed by religious identity received much more attention than ethnic identity. Further, analysis of illustrations revealed that men are presented in more than 50X of pictures whereas the share of women ranged from iL to 24X.
