Looking at the results of the study, it was found that at the fourth-grade level, there was an improvement in the global connections learning area at the same grade level, where four skills were included with map writing in the learning area of people and places and environments. At the fifth-grade level, it was found that there were two attainments linked to map literacy in the learning area of people places and environments, while there was one attainment in the learning area of global connections. According to the results of the research, it was found that at the sixth-grade level, there were four achievements in the field of learning People, Places and environments, one achievement in the field of learning production, distribution and consumption, and three achievements related to map literacy skills in the field of Learning Global Connections. Finally, at the seventh-grade level, it was found that there were two achievements related to map literacy skills in the field of learning People Places and environments. When social studies textbooks were examined, it was observed that map literacy skills and application activities were at a limited level.
