The Soil and The Protection of The Soil in The Textbooks of Social Sciences For The Sixth And Seventh Grades in Primary School
Abstract
Since the very beginning of their history on the Earth, human beings have been using the sources around
themselves. With the settled life, soil and agriculture have had a dominant role in human life. Nowadays, the
development of industry and technology affect everything including natural sources. One of the most important
sources, the soil, has been damaged by chemicals and ignorance. The protection of the earth and environment, which
is one of the most important issues of our time, is firstly considered by parents, and then, from the primary school
level, it is focused on through the whole life. The subject “The Soil and The Protection of The Soil”, studied through
the use and the protection of natural sources, is among the subjects of 4, 5,6 and 7th
grades’ Social Sciences lesson.
The Primary School-level of Social Sciences has a great role in terms of the perception of the life in the world, and
having responsibilities towards the existing problems.
This study aims to reveal how the issue of “The Soil and The Protection of The Soil”, has been included in
the textbooks of the 6th and 7th grades Social Sciences lesson, which have been selected by the Board of Education
and Discipline to be put into practise during the 2010-2011 school year. It has been concluded that there isn’t enough guidence for this issue on the guide books for the ones teaching the 6th and 7th grades’ pupils; and also, on the student
books, this issue isn’t considered as a seperate subject but has only been included as superficial explanations.
Moreover, on the workbooks for pupils, there isn’t any activity focusing on the matter of “The Soil and The
Protection of The Soil”, seperately; however, this issue has been dealed with in only a few activities about different
subjects.
