Abstract

This study aims to seek an answer to whether learning social studies or being social studies literate is more necessary in today’s world, based on the meanings attributed by preservice social studies teachers to social studies literacy. A phenomenology design was used with a sample of 60 preservice social studies teachers determined by criterion sampling. The mind maps created by the participants regarding the concept of social studies literacy were used to collect data, which were analyzed through content analysis in MaxQda 2020 software. The participants indicated that individuals with social studies literacy should know themselves and their society, establish a connection between the past, present and future, be aware of the human-environment relationship, protect the natural environment, follow scientific and technological developments, have conscious consumer behaviours, know their rights and responsibilities, and have a global perspective in particular circumstances.
