Abstract	Educational development in Saudi Arabia is closely related to Moslem religious belief. A review of the socio/cultural behavior based upon Saudi religious belief can provide insight to educators on how to make educational and research activities in developing nations more relevant to people with a non-Western frame of reference. Among muslims, personal responsibility for the moral ordering of the natural world is considered a strong mandate. Also, important in Moslem culture are male camaraderie, hospitality, personal tranquility, social harmony, refined courtesy, social solidarity, and a view of all activities as integral parts of one's role as a human being. To develop educational programs in accordance with Saudis' frame of reference, educators should devise curriculum so that it consists of integrated and meaningful information along a theme. Educators should also encourage students to use impressions and intuitions when seeking answers and should avoid compartmentalizing data into artificial segments. Educators will devise curriculum which is more relevant to individuals in developing nations if they pay attention to values and social behaviors in the culture they are trying to serve. (DB)
