EXAMINATION OF 6TH AND 7TH GRADE TURKISH TEXTBOOKS IN TERMS OF THEME AND LITERARY GENRES

Abstract

This study examines the genres of texts in the 6th and 7th-grade Turkish textbooks used during the 2018-2019 academic year. Textbooks serve as fundamental resources for implementing educational curricula. In this context, the texts included in textbooks and their genres hold significant importance. The study employed the document analysis method to identify the genres of reading texts in textbooks published by different publishers for the 6th and 7th grades. These genres were compared across publishers at the same grade level and with the text genres specified in the 2018 Turkish Language Curriculum. Additionally, the reading texts in the textbooks were reviewed by five Turkish language teachers to ensure comprehensive analysis of the identified text genres. The study focused on textbooks published by MEB and Eksen for the 6th grade and by MEB and Dersdestek for the 7th grade. The findings revealed that different text genres were used across publishers for the same grade level. It was observed that some genres of texts were inaccurately classified or did not sufficiently reflect the characteristics of their respective genres. Furthermore, certain text genres were often confused with one another, and some did not align with the curriculum's specifications. In conclusion, the study highlights the need for greater diligence in the selection of texts and the identification of text genres in textbooks. Recommendations were provided to address these issues.
