摘要：This study presents the challenges that are facing the teachers of the social studies in exploring the values of the citizenship of the students in the primary schools in Ajloun as viewed by the educators. The study uses a descriptive method with a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 150 teachers serving in the Directorate of Education of Ajloun Governorate. A total of 94 valid responses (about 63%) were collected and examined statistically for further analysis. The questionnaire includes seven areas: objectives, methods, and educational activities, methods of teaching and presentation of content, use of learning resources, classroom management, and classroom interaction, enhancing skills, values, and trends, and finally assessment methods. The study found that the most important challenges facing teachers in teaching the values of citizenship to students are not directly attached to the particulars related to teaching concepts of citizenship. The study indicated difficulty in achieving mutual interaction between students themselves and between students and teachers. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in respondents' estimates of the challenges they face in teaching the values of citizenship that can be attributed to the gender variable. But there are differences attributed to specialization and is in favor of the specialization of geography. Therefore, the study recommends that the values of citizenship be given more attention in the curriculum by training teachers in the context of teaching based on classroom activities.
