CONCEPTS AND TEACHING OUTCOMES RELATED TO NATIONAL CULTURE AND VALUES IN THE TURKISH COURSE CURRICULUM (ANALYSIS AND TEACHERS' OPINIONS)

Abstract

This study aims to examine the theoretical structure of the learning outcomes related to national culture and values in the Turkish courses curriculum updated within the framework of the Türkiye Century Education Model (TYMM), and to present evaluations regarding the overall functioning of the curriculum based on teacher opinions. The theoretical framework is grounded in approaches to cultural transmission, values education, multicultural education, and the TPACK model. The research was designed in a qualitative pattern; data sources consisted of curriculum documents and written opinions collected from 20 Turkish language teachers. Data were analyzed through document analysis and content analysis, and reliability was ensured through coder agreement and transparent analytical procedures. Based on the interpretations derived from the analysis, the study concludes that the curriculum adopts a holistic understanding that integrates national culture and value teaching with language skills; however, strengthening the curriculum–practice alignment requires enhanced pedagogical guidance, technological integration, and diversified instructional materials. The research emphasizes the importance of teacher competencies, the quality of learning experiences, and the curriculum’s capacity to provide practical guidance for the sustainability of cultural and value-based instruction. Ultimately, the study offers an integrative evaluation concerning the development of cultural awareness through language teaching.
