The Relevance of Questions in Social Studies Course Book for Critical Thinking

Abstract

ABCTRACT In this study it is tried to introduce the opinions of classroom teachers who work in Çanakkale, about the relevance of questions in social studies course book for critical thinking. In this term teachers’ critical thinking skills are measured via “Watson-Glaser Critical Reasoning Skill Test” previously, and then it determined the teachers who were the participants of the research. The sample of research is consisted of 101 classroom teachers. When data examined by using “ The Scale of the Relevance of Critical Thinking for Questions” that developed by Semiz (2011), it is seen that teachers thought that social studies course books for 4th and 5th graders were suitable in mid-level. Results differed when teachers’ gender, proficiency and current class degrees were taken into account. Accordingly, while preceptors and low-proficiency teachers thought that social studies course books were suitable for critical thinking, on the other hand teachers’ work for 4th and 5th grades had similar thoughts and also there was not any significant difference between their opinions
