Reconsidering Social Studies Course in the Axis of Socialization and Integrated Education on its age of 100

Abstract

At schools, several courses have been designed to make students gain certain knowledge and skills in language, numeric, etc. To help them gain the skills of social expression, social studies course has been designed. However, in time, this course has turned to be a kind of oral course in which the knowledge is memorized and learners hardly ever gain the expected skills. On the contrary, social studies course exists to help individuals adapt the life of the society, have a happy life and fulfil their responsibilities towards their country, nation and the humanity. This course, which was first put into the literature in the USA in 1916, is now at the age of 100 in the world, and it is about to be 50 in Turkey. However, it is thought that the social studies course is deviated from its basic principles and background in Turkey today. For this reason, it is necessary to reconsider this course with its simple form. In this sense, this study argues the current situation of social studies course by touching upon its historical background and the purposes behind its design. It also aims to find out the basic considerations in social studies course, which has been applied, examined and discussed for about a century, in the light of the literature.
