Abstract

Tarih konularının öğretiminde tarihsel kaynak ve kanıtlara ulaşma yollarını bilen, ulaştığı kaynakları sorgulayan, eleştiren, değerlendiren, tarihsel olayları nedensellik, kronolojik düşünme, tarihsel empati gibi beceriler çerçevesinde inceleyen öğrenciler yetiştirme amacının olması, tarih okuryazarlığı dairesinde hareket edildiğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada öğrencilerin tarih okuryazarlığı düzeylerine etki eden unsurlar ve bunların nedenleri öğretmen görüşlerine dayalı olarak tartışılmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemine göre hareket edilen çalışma kapsamında “ölçüt örnekleme” yöntemi ile belirlenen 12 sosyal bilgiler öğretmeni ile yüz yüze görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılardan elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Ulaşılan bulgulara göre katılımcıların, öğrencilerin tarih okuryazarlığı düzeylerinin düşük olma nedenleri ve çözüm önerilerine yönelik çeşitli görüşler öne sürdükleri gözlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin tarih okuryazarlığı düzeylerinin düşük olma nedenleri arasında sosyal bilgiler öğretim programının, öğrenci velilerinin, sosyal bilgiler öğretmenlerin, sosyal bilgiler ders kitaplarının gerekçe gösterildiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca televizyonda yayınlanan tarih programlarının öğrenci seviyesine uygun olmadığı ve tarihsel belgesellerde de donuk bir anlatımın olması nedeniyle öğrencilerin ilgisini çekmediği belirtilmiştir.
