Knowledge-based economy is a new implemented trend in the field of education in Jordan. The ministry of education in Jordan attempts to implement this trend's philosophy in its textbooks. This study examined the extent to which the (1st-3rd grade) social and national textbooks reflect knowledge-based economy criteria from the perspective of Jordanian teachers. The quantitative questionnaire addressed five evaluation criteria of knowledge-based economy that incorporate 40 evaluation aspects. The main findings highlighted that the content of the social studies textbooks does not refer to the philosophy of knowledge-based economy directly. More attention to the thinking skills criterion is needed. (Contains 3 tables.)
