Abstract

Geleneksel vatandaşlık eğitimi Soğuk Savaş sonrası yaşanan köklü değişimlerden etkilenmiş ve modern vatandaşlık eğitimine doğru evrilmeye başlamıştır. Geleneksel vatandaşlık eğitimi tekçi bir ulusal kimlik inşa etmeyi, homojen bir toplum imajı oluşturmayı, mevcut politik sistemin nasıl işlediğine dair bilgileri genç kuşaklara aktarmayı amaçlarken, modern vatandaşlık eğitimi öğrencilerin insan hakları, demokrasi, hukukun üstünlüğü ve farklılıklara saygı gibi değerleri özümsemesini ve politik katılım yetkinliklerini geliştirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Türkiye’de modern vatandaşlık eğitimine geçiş 1990’lı yıllarda uluslararası eğitim projelerinin etkisiyle başlamış ve hala devam etmektedir. Bu çalışma, 2018 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı’nın ne tür bir vatandaşlık eğitimi öngördüğünü incelemektedir. Söz konusu öğretim programı eleştirel söylem analizi yönteminden yararlanarak çözümlenmiş, ortaya çıkan bulgular vatandaşlık eğitimi literatürü referans alınarak yorumlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, 2018 öğretim programı, yoğun olarak geleneksel vatandaşlık eğitiminin, sınırlı olarak ise modern vatandaşlık eğitiminin özelliklerini yansıtmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, söz konusu programın daha etkin uygulanmasına ve gelecekte yapılacak program geliştirme çalışmalarına olumlu katkılar sunabilir.

Changes and Continuities in Citizenship Education: What kind of Citizenship Education does the 2018 Social Studies Programme of Study Envisage?

Abstract

Citizenship education was influenced by fundamental changes that happened following the end of the Cold War in 1989. Traditional citizenship education aiming to build a monolithic national identity, disseminate an image of homogeneous society and transmit the knowledge of political system has evolved towards modern citizenship education characterised by an emphasis on human rights, democracy, the rule of law, respect for diversity and a concern to develop students’ political participation skills. The transition to modern citizenship education in Turkey started with the pushing of international educational projects and is still underway. Drawing on critical discourse analysis, this study explores what kind of citizenship education the 2018 Social Studies Courses Programme of Study envisages. The study found that the new programme intensely reflects the characteristics of traditional citizenship education. Taking into account this study’s findings might lead to more effective implementation of the programme and increase the success of future curriculum reforms.
