Metaphoric Perceptions of Middle School Students About the Concept of Secularism
Abstract
Social
studies is an important course in middle schools. Social studies, however,
varies in scope as social studies benefit from social sciences’ knowledge
production. Social studies include social sciences’ topics as well as such
topics as social responsibility, socialization, social relations. These topics
are directly or indirectly linked to the concept of secularism. The concept of
secularism influences and shapes the political, social, military and even
economic structures of a given country. The purpose of this study, by way of
metaphor, is to examine the concept of secularism that students learn in social
studies courses. In this study, the descriptive survey model was used and the
content analysis was used in determining the categories and themes. The study
group consists of students from two middle schools located in Siirt province
center. The prepared forms were applied to 155 students. In determining the
sample, convenience sampling was utilized from non-random sampling methods. As
a result, when metaphors, categories and category ratios related to secularism
are examined and
they were found as 35% socially and culturally, 25% politically and
administratively, 16% religiously, 13% legally and 11% in the sense of
belonging. Considering the ratios, it is seen that they are
considered in terms of social and cultural the most and in terms of legal and
sense of belonging the least. The categorization of the secularism concept by
the students at a high rate socially and culturally and politically and
administratively is assessed as positive by considering the definition and
structure of the concept.
