Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to investigate and explain the forms of democratic and anti-conflict values in textbooks for elementary students in Indonesia. The study was designed with discourse analysis and the data were obtained from two student textbooks used by the fourth graders, which are developed based on the most recent curriculum and are currently used as the main resources for learning in the classroom. Data analysis was performed using the Miles, Huberman, & Saldana’s (2016) flow model that consisted of data identification, data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification. The findings from this study reveal that the elementary school textbooks contain three main categories of democratic and anti-conflict values, that include moral knowing, moral feelings, and moral doings. Diverse cultures, languages, ethnics, and religions can be empowered as media to transmit democratic and anti conflict values. It can be concluded that the integration of democratic and anti-conflict values into textbook discourse was initiated by the current socio-political situations, national education goals, and the most recent curriculum applied in Indonesia. Values represented in the textbook discourse are directed to the effort to cultivate democratic and anti-conflict values as the basic capital for peaceful coexistence.
