Abstract

Modern Arabic poetry is imbued with patriotism and many of the Arab poets have become famous because of their patriotic poetry, among those we can mention the Iraqi poets. It is an important and necessary initiative to include patriotic poetry in Iraqi textbooks due to its political and social conditions towards uniting the youngsters of the country under the umbrella of brotherhood, love and equality. Patriotic tenets are part of the training tenets that conduct the training process and it should be taken into account in children literature and also in school textbooks. This is why we chose this subject. The study is based on the reading and studying books, and the literature and texts because they got poems that came to be learned and memorized and explained during the three school phases in Iraq: the primary school the middle school and the high school. 31 poems from the total 187 got patriotic points in three phases which means 57.16% of the total poems. The use of patriotic poems is mostly seen in primary and middle school and rarely in high school. Patriotic tenets were varying and included the love of the country, praising the country, sacrificing for it, co-working, and praying for its goodness and protectiveness and strength. Also, the patriotic poems in school textbooks included patriotic symbols such as geography and history and first-person pronoun and connection "Ya", and the people and the nation and the homeland and the country, the flag, and the national anthem etc.

الملخص

احتلّت الوطنية جانبًا كبيرًا من الشعر العربي المعاصر واشتهر كثير من الشعراء العرب بالشعر الوطني ومنهم الشعراء العراقيّون. إنّ إدراج الشعر الوطني في العمليّة التربويّة ضمن الكتب المدرسيّة أمر في غاية الأهميّة؛ إذ أنّ العراق وظروفه السياسيّة والاجتماعيّة تتطلّب العمل على توحيد أبناء البلد في إطار وطن واحد تجمعهم الوحدة في ظلّ مناخ مفعم بالإخاء والمحبّة والمساواة. إنّ القيم الوطنيّة هي جزء من مجموعة القيم التربويّة التي تجري على أساسها عملية التربيّة وعليه يجب أن تؤخذ بعين الاعتبار في أدب الطفل والكتب المدرسيّة کذلك. ومن هذا المنطلق، تأتي أهميّة اختيار موضوع دراستنا؛ إذ تتمحور حول كتب القراءة، والمطالعة، والأدب والنصوص؛ لأنّها تحتوي على القصائد الّتي قد جاءت للتعليم والحفظ والشرح، وخلال المراحل المدرسيّة الثلاث في العراق وهي: الابتدائية، والمتوسّطة، والإعداديّة (الثانويّة). احتوت الدراسة 31 قصيدة من إجمالي 187 قصيدة، على قيم وطنيّة خلال المراحل المدرسيّة والّتي تشكّل %16.57 من مجموع القصائد. ركّزت غالبيّة القصائد الوطنيّة في المرحلتين الابتدائية والمتوسطة وكانت قليلة جدًّا في المرحلة الإعدادية أو الثانويّة. كما تنوّعت القيم الوطنيّة فتضمّنت حبَّ الوطن ووصفه والإشاده بمكانته، والتضحية والفداء له، والعمل والتعاون من أجله، والدعاء له بالخير والخصب والعزّة. كذلك اشتملت القصائد الوطنية في الكتب المدرسيّة على رموز وطنيّة كالجغرافيا والتاريخ، وضميرَيْ المتكلّم وياء النسبة، والشعب والأمّة والوطن والبلد، والعَلَم والنشيد الوطني، وغيرها من الرموز.
