Abstract
There has been a steady change in the objectives of the teaching of history in
the last century. It was mainly accepted a course transmitting the knowledge of the past
and culture before the Second World War. After the Second World War, in the developed
world, especially in England, the teaching of history was structured to teach thinking
skills together with the knowledge of the past and culture. The objectives of the teaching
of history has been examined, it seems that transmitting values is one of the objectives
of this subject for along time.
Values are the mental concepts which effect and direct our thoughts and our behaviors
with our believes and our manner of conduct which are involved in the sensory. As our
values guide our behaviors and carry upon our judgments and instant goals to a higher
point of view, by this way, they inform us how should we be and in which way should
we behave.
As our total manner of conduct could be referenced to our self-value system, from education
to economics and form philosophy to theology, all branches of sciences are interested
in some way with the values systems. if we look from this point of view whis is
consist of the classification which is already made, we can see that they are based upon
psychological, sociologic and philosophic fundamentals .
When we look at the History of Value Education mainly in USA and Europe, we see that
value promoting (inspiring), value clarification, value analyzing and character education
has been approached in Value Training. Later in time more attention has been given to
value formations. To enforce these approaching in value educations various value training
possibly can be associated
The classes which are being given in our country, as democracy and human rights, theology
and ethics, social studies, are related most efficacious to our self-value system in
the point of topics they have had. Each class topic in certain points has a connection to
values, like teaching of environmental values in Geography lessons or scientific values
in science lessons.
History classes develop students’ mental skills of making critics, analysis and democratic
thinking. in this classes, it improves the consciousness of citizenship as teaching
the facts as native land, nation, government, government policy, rights and responsibilities
in addition to that, history classes have a great deal with the facts of teaching social
values and to shape new ones. History classes are the ones in which we can find out
the answers of the questions of how our social values are emerged and how they came
to today. the students learn present social values in these classes. in this way, it is done
that the social values are thought to new generations by transferring and are realized in
continuity.
If we investigate the social studies considering the acquiring self-values formation, it is
clear that they could contribute to acquiring self-values formation in the fields of generating
new social values and transferring them to new generations. how social values
have changed and the reasons of this mutation and the important personages in history
and their lives are very useful components for students to generate new self-values. in
social studies, students can make comparison with the ancient social values which were
meant so much to the society and the current ones, and they can also take some lessons
by looking at the important personages in history and constitute some self-values.
Students can catch the opportunity to develop new values or learn from existing values
in the classes, by utilizing expression technique, sample event or historic empathy discussion
methods. Beside of these, biographies, environmental tours, historic tales, epics,
rule books and edicts are methods and material which appears to us in history classes in
value training.
The purpose of this study is to examine the place of values in the teaching of history.
With this in mind, values education, the relationships between the teaching of history
and values, the position of history courses in values education will be explained in the
light of the related literature.
