The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of California's new 1989 standards requiring that history textbooks adopted by the state for use in the public schools include the study of religion in history. This study asked whether the new California standards significantly influenced textbook treatments of the development and accomplishments of Islam during the period 600 CE.-1500 CE.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of California's new 1989 standards requiring that history textbooks adopted by the state for use in the public schools include the study of religion in history. This study asked whether the new California standards significantly influenced textbook treatments of the development and accomplishments of Islam during the period 600 CE.-1500 CE.
520 $a This study draws on data from two primary sources: (1) Content analysis of six world history textbooks, published between 1982 and 1990, one of which was adopted by the California State Board of Education during the 1990 textbook adoption process and the rest of which were not; and (2) A survey of Muslim scholars in U.S. Islamic organizations and universities.
520 $a The content categories for the analysis were: (1) Teachings of Islam, (2) Periods of Islamic History, (3) Application of Islam to Daily Life, (4) Sources of Islamic Law, and (5) Islamic contributions to Human Civilization. Each category was evaluated in terms of "the amount of the coverage"; "the depth of coverage"; "accuracy and distortion"; "presentation of content"; "representativeness" and "use of literature".
520 $a The results of this study showed that Islam receives more comprehensive and more accurate treatment in the California adopted textbook on world history than it did in textbooks accepted before 1989 when California's new standards were adopted. The findings of the content analysis demonstrate that the history and culture of Islam were not well developed in any of the textbooks except the 7th grade Houghton Mifflin text (Across the Centuries) which was adopted in 1990. With a total 77 percent accuracy rating and 71 percent coverage rating across all five evaluation categories, the Houghton Mifflin text was judged significantly superior in its treatment of Islam to all non-adopted texts. The responses of the Muslim scholars to Across the Centuries was generally very positive and consistent with the results of the content analysis. All respondents indicated that the Houghton Mifflin textbook was more accurate than the others and gave virtually the same ranking among the six books as that yielded by the content analysis.
