The role of hidden curriculum in the construction of the national identity on Primary Education students in Greece: an approach through national celebrations in schools and parades
Summary:
ABSTRACT
This doctoral thesis discusses the construction of national identity in the Greek
primary education between the end of the Greek Civil War in the 1950s and the signing of
the Treaty on European Union, known as the “Maastricht Treaty”, in 1992. Specifically,
we present the role of school-centered ideological mechanisms, like celebrations, written
assignments, rituals and parades. Within the historical context of this period, a review of
Greek education ideologies is attempted, based on the changes in the curricula and the
educational policies.
We discuss the concept of the nation from a historical and ideological perspective. We
also review the ethnocentric ideology, the social representations of the national identity,
and, finally, how national festivities can be used as the main mechanisms of building this
identity. Further, we discuss the theories of curricula (concepts, definitions, types,
theories, functions), before we delve into the theory of the hidden curricula.
Quantitative and qualitative data analysis of texts written by students of the Arsakeio
Schools and published in the school magazine “Polymnia” between 1954 and 1975,
qualitative analysis of texts of Official Curricula and Circulars, as well as photographs and
cinematographic - video recordings from student parades, have explained how festivities
have contributed to the construction of the national identity in primary schools.
