Abstract

This study investigates Omanis’ perceptions of the roles of stakeholders in promoting awareness of national figures of historical prominence. A questionnaire was administered to 2,863 Omanis, comprising 1,470 males and 1,393 females. The tool consisted of 38 items divided into four domains: importance of raising awareness of historically prominent Omanis; role of family and society; role of TV, radio, and newspapers; and the role of social media. The results found that Omanis strongly believe in the importance of raising awareness of prominent historical figures, and they think the family, society, media, and
social media are instrumental in this. The study also revealed that Omanis’ perceptions differ due to their gender and qualification.
