Bu araştırmanın amacı, Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmen adayları ve akademisyenlerinin tartışmalı konuların öğretimi ile ilgili görüşlerini yansıtmaktır. Araştırma 2015-2016 öğretim yılının Bahar döneminde iki farklı devlet üniversitesinin Eğitim Fakültesi Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği Anabilim Dalında öğrenim gören toplam 116 Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmen adayı ve 13 akademisyen ile birlikte yürütülmüştür. Araştırma yöntemi olarak nitel araştırma modeli benimsenmiş olup, araştırma verileri Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmen adaylarından açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan bir anket ile öğretim üyelerinden ise yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen en önemli bulgu, hem Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmen adayları hem de akademisyenleri için tartışmalı konuların farklı bakış açıları geliştirme ve akademik kazanımlar elde etme hususunda önemli bir yerinin olduğudur. Tartışmalı konuların öğretiminin katkıları ve mevcut sorunların aşılmasına yönelik beklentiler Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmen adayları tarafından akademisyenlere yüklenen bir sorumluluk olarak görülürken, akademisyenlerin de bu sorumlulukların farkında oldukları tespit edilmiştir.

The aim of this study is to analyze the views of Social Studies teacher candidates and academicians regarding teaching of controversial issues. The study was conducted with 116 Social Studies teacher candidates and 13 academicians from two different state universities’ Faculty of Education in the spring semester of 2015-2016 academic year. The study was configured with qualitative methods. Research data was collected by a questionnaire composed of open-ended questions from Social Studies teacher candidates and additional data was collected by a semi-structured interview from the academicians. The most important finding of the study was that the teaching of controversial issues has an important role for both Social Studies teacher candidates and academicians in terms of developing different perspectives and academic acquisitions. It is determined that Social Studies teacher candidates are aware of the expectations regarding the contribution of the teaching of controversial issues and overcoming the existing pre-conceived ideas as a responsibility which should be presented to academicians as well.
