Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of values education-related activities through Turkish
folk tales on 8th graders’ attitudes towards human values. For this purpose, some Turkish folk tales which
concentrate on responsibility, friendship/companionship, peace, respect, tolerance and honesty were selected and
taught in accordance with the methods of values education. An experimental pre-test – post-test control group design
was used in the study. There were 22 students in the experimental group and 20 students in the control group. To
collect the data, the "Human Values Scale" was administered. Independent-samples t tests were used to analyze the
data. As a result, significant differences were found in favor of the experimental group [t(40)=8.899, p < 0.05].
According to this, values education-related activities through Turkish Folk tales had positive impact on 8th graders’
attitudes towards human values such as responsibility, friendship / companionship, peace, respect, tolerance and
