EDUCATING FAMILY CULTURAL VALUES THROUGH NATIONAL LITERATURE TEXTBOOKS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN VIETNAM AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Abstract

National
Literature
Textbooks
are
 Vietnamese
language
textbooks
 published
since
the
1930s,
taught
in
 elementary
schools
throughout
Vietnam
 during
the
first
half
of
the
20th
century.
 The
textbooks
incorporated
a
wealth
of
 historical
and
social
knowledge,
 spanning
from
tradition
to
modernity,
 and
conveyed
ethical
values
from
East
to
 West.
The
lessons
in
these
textbooks
 contributed
to
nurturing
foundational
 knowledge
and
shaping
behaviors
in
 family,
school,
and
societal
contexts.

In
this
article,
we
focus
on
the
issue
of
 researching
family
cultural
education
 through
the
National
Literature
Textbook
 series
with
the
aim
of
analyzing
 Confucian
educational
values
regarding
 family
culture
in
traditional
Vietnamese
 culture.
This
analysis
seeks
to
assess
the
 role
of
Confucianism
in
family
moral
 education
in
contemporary
Vietnamese
 life
within
the
current
context
of
 globalization.
