Tarih konulu film ve diziler toplumda hemen her zaman ilgi kaynağı olmuş ve ses getirmiş önemli yapıtlardır. Bu yapıtlar aynı zamanda sanat ve akademi dünyasında gerçeklik ve kurgu kavramları çerçevesinde önemli tartışmalara da zemin oluşturmuştur. Tarih gibi soyut bir alanı görselliğiyle somut hale getiren bu yapımlar aynı zamanda tarih öğretiminde kullanılabilecek önemli materyallerdendir. Öğretmenler tarafından bilinçli bir şekilde kullanılması koşuluyla, bu yapımların hem dersi eğlenceli hale getirme hem de öğrencileri çağımızın gerektirdiği bir takım becerilerle donatabilme potansiyelinden yararlanılabilir. Bu araştırmada tarih öğretmenlerinin Muhteşem Yüzyıl dizisi özelinde tarih konulu film ve dizilerin derslerde kullanımına yönelik görüşleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Erzurum il merkezinde görev yapmakta olan ve tarih konulu film ve dizilere ilgi duyan 7 tarih öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Nitel bir yaklaşımla ele alınan araştırmanın verileri, odak grup görüşmesi yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, öğretmenler tarih konulu bir film ve dizi çekilirken en fazla milli menfaatlere ve dönemin atmosferinin yansıtılmasına dikkat edilmesi gerektiğini belirtmişlerdir. Öğretmenler bu yapımların tarih konularını somutlaştırdığını ancak öğrencilerin belirli hassas noktalara takılmalarına da neden olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Derslerde kullanılacak filmlerin seçiminde milli menfaatlere ve ders konularına uygun olması, kullanımında ise önceden öğretmen tarafından izlenmiş olması, eleştirel izlemenin öğretilmesi ve açıklamalara yer verilmesi gerekliliğini dile getirmişlerdir. Öğretmenler Muhteşem Yüzyıl dizisinin hem toplumun hem de öğrencilerin tarihe ilgisini arttırdığını ve bazı kavramların öğretilmesine yardımcı olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Bunun yanında dizinin sadece Harem’e odaklanarak eksik bir Osmanlı imajı çizdiğini ve reyting kaygısının ön plana çıkarıldığını belirtmişlerdir. Öğretmenler derslerinde Muhteşem Yüzyıl dizisinin sadece belli parçalarını kullanmaya olumlu bakmaktadırlar.
