one of the major goals of Israeli education in the Arab sector is to disconnectand empty the education for Palestinian students of national content throughcurriculum and textbook manipulation. It would be interesting to compare thefindings of this study to children's responses from public schools that use theMinistry of Education authorized textbooks, which lack Arab national content.Shoshamy and Donitsa–Schmidt (1998) report that Arabs see learning Hebrewas the first priority. This runs contrary to the current findings for primary schoolchildren in a church-run school in the northern district of Israel, in which Englishwas perceived as the preferred language to learn, over Hebrew and Arabic. There is a need for comparative studies in this domain. Several factorsshould be controlled or taken into consideration for an in-depth study, toenhance understandings of existing student attitudes towards Fusha andlearning Fusha. These factors include grade level, school location (e.g.geographic location, urban/ rural), school type (e.g. private/ public, religious/ secular), sociopolitical situation, teachers' attitudes and practices, teachers' qualifications, and textbooks in use. Additionally, it is essential to examine alarger sample size and interview schedule in order to infer statistically significantconclusions with regard to the data. Such studies would contribute toeducational development not only for Palestinian Arabic speaking schools, butalso for Arabic speaking students elsewhere. Findings could direct practitionerstowards factors that increase positive attitudes towards Fusha and learning inthe first three grades. In addition, it would shed a light on children'spsychological understanding of the diglossic situation, which is essential forcurriculum development and pedagogical practices throughout the learningprocess.
