This article examines the evolution of the representation of Islam and Muslim cultures in textbooks in Quebec. Results indicate signicant improvements in the new secondary school history textbooks, both quantitatively (for they contain more information about pillars, key concepts, and relations with Christianity and Judaism) and qualitatively (on account of their depth of coverage, fewer negative views than in the 1980s, and fewer factual errors than in the 1990s). The positive role played by Muslim scientists in preserving old knowledge and enriching is also recognized. However, textbooks still view Islam as a religion of submission, proscriptions, and forced conversion, failing to recognize the diversity within Islam and Muslim cultures.

The main purpose of this study is to identify the level of patriotism application in secondary school history teachers in Sabah. This study is a survey study using a questionnaire for the purpose of collecting data. The sample of the study consists of history teachers involving a total of 367 respondents throughout Sabah. Study variables were tested using descriptive and inferential statistics involving t-tests. The findings of the study indicate that the patriotism application is at a high level. The results of the t-test showed that there was a significant difference in the mean score of the patriotism application between the respondents of history specialization and non-history specialization. These findings provide useful input, especially to the Ministry of Malaysia Education, the State Education Department, and the school administration to plan professional development programs.
