Reaching objectives in curricula plays an important role in
putting geographical understanding into life. Accordingly, map skills play a
key role in reaching the objectives in the curricula. Individuals who have
strong map skills can take on important roles both for themselves and their
societies. This study attempted to investigate the contributions of Kâtip
Çelebi to Turkish cartography, the importance and content of Cihânnüma, one of
his works, and how maps should be taught at schools. The historical method, a
qualitative research method, was used in this study. In the light of the review
of the literature in Turkish, this study is limited only to pointing to the
importance of Kâtip Çelebi’ work, Cihânnüma, and to maps and visual aids used
in teaching geography. The study attempted to understand the messages that
Kâtib Çelebi's work, Cihânnüma, intends to convey with respect to geography
teaching today, and emphasized that visually-aided geography teaching would be more efficient in
geography education. It was particularly
inferred from this study that it would be very useful to go from concrete to
the abstract in education. As a result of the study, it was also stated that it
would be beneficial to use educational materials for the development of one’s
multifaceted thinking skills. In this way, maps will help individuals reach new
ideas and discoveries visuo-spatially in their minds.
