Teachers’ Views on the Achievement Level of the Learning Outcomes in the New 2017-2018 Grade 5 Social Studies Curriculum

Abstract

Technological and social changes necessitate changes in education programs as well. Thus, with the changes and improvements made in education programs over time, new curricula were introduced to replace the existing ones. The most recent reform made in the education programs in Turkiye was in the year 2017, during which the social studies curriculum was also renewed. To what extent learning outcomes are achieved in a curriculum can be best assessed by the teachers who are the implementers of the curriculum. Curriculum studies in the literature are mostly focused on the teacher, students, expert opinions and comparative studies. The aim of the present study was to determine the extent to which the learning outcomes in the new 2017 grade 5 social studies curriculum were achieved based on teachers’ views. Descriptive research methods, namely the survey, and mixed qualitative-quantitative research models were utilized. The data collection tool used in the present research study was developed by the researcher: "Questionnaire on Teachers’ Views Regarding the Achievement Levels of the New 2017-2018 Grade 5 Social Studies Course Learning Outcomes". This questionnaire consists of three parts and includes open-ended questions. The data of the study were obtained from 60 grade 5 social studies teachers out of the 99 social studies teachers working in 49 official secondary schools in the city center of Tokat. Frequency (f), percentage (%), standard deviation (ss), t-test, Oneway ANOVA, and the Shcheffe test were used in the analysis of the data obtained.
