These scales were applied to 6 different types of high schools located in Turkey. Findings and interpretations are thought to be important in terms of opinions of high school students in Turkey both about the Arabs in high school history textbooks and attitudes towards Arabs. In the study, it is seen that the students are in a positive attitude towards the Arab nation in general terms; According to the narrative of the history textbooks, the Turks thought that relations with the Arabs deteriorated during World War I; It is seen as a remarkable result that they believe that the Western countries have an important role in the breakdown of Turkish-Arab relations and that they emphasize political activities in history textbooks in relation to history textbooks.
