Abstract

The study explored the effectiveness of Arabic textbooks for Grade 12 in the UAE in promoting sustainable development. It highlights the importance of renewable energy and environmental conservation and emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary approach to education. The research also highlights the need for a comprehensive framework that considers social, economic, and environmental aspects of sustainable development. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Four student interviews were done as part of a qualitative study in order to improve the research's outcomes, and a 200 participant sample was used in quantitative analysis to provide a nuanced understanding of the teaching of sustainable development in UAE school textbooks.
