Application of Innovative Keyword Analysis Methodology within the Framework of SDGs in the 8th Grade Turkish Course Textbook

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the contribution of education towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which the United Nations (UN) describes as an urgent call for action. Education has garnered increasing interest in this regard, and this study conducts a systematic review of literature on the integration of SDG keywords into education. The study utilizes keywords from 10 relevant studies and employs a new methodology to analyze and weigh these keywords. This results in a comprehensive and robust list of keywords. The study also assesses the level of integration of SDGs in educational materials using this methodology. Furthermore, it identifies the integration level for each SDG and highlights any gaps in integration. The study offers a broad perspective on the subject by proposing a framework to guide educational institutions in integrating the SDGs into their materials. The innovative methodology allows for a measurable assessment of the integration of SDGs in education, with potential for further development and expansion.

Keywords
