The purpose of this study has been to examine the expressions of the value of patriotism and its trends among trainee teachers. To what extent do the trainee teachers adhere to the values of patriotism? Have the values of the old Land of Israel patriotism been replaced by the values of globalism? What are the attitudes of immigrant teacher trainees towards patriotism? How do they believe students should be educated in light of this value, if at all? The methodology chosen was qualitative. The questionnaires distributed to natives and immigrants Jewish trainee teachers in various disciplines. It was found out that the majority of both sectors support instruction of literary texts that induce the idea of being "a citizen of Israel". Nevertheless, 20% of the immigrants, five times more than the natives, support the instruction of literary texts that induce also the idea of being "a citizen of the world".
