AB  - In recent years, one of the prominently emphasized concepts in educational activities is interdisciplinarity. In this research, was to examine the extent to which geography teachers benefit from history within the framework of the interdisciplinary approach in geography lessons. The data in the research were collected with semi-structured interview forms. According to the findings obtained from the research a significant majority of the geography teachers showed a high interest in history, and all of them believed that history could contribute to geography lessons. It has been observed that geography teachers utilize history in various ways in their lessons including referring to historical processes of the topics, talking about first historical landmarks, and the impact of geography on historical events. It has been determined that geography teachers perceive the connection between the curriculum and textbooks with history as primarily inadequate; they think that there are issues that need to be improved.
