Sustainable Development Goals and the 2024 Social Studies Curriculum: An Evaluation from the Perspective of Citizenship Education

Öz

This study examines the 2024 Social Studies Curriculum (MoNE, 2024) within the context of sustainable development and citizenship education. It aims to evaluate the curriculum in relation to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Target 4.7 and assess it within the framework of citizenship education. To this end, a qualitative approach was adopted, employing the document analysis method. During the research process, the learning areas and learning outcomes were initially examined in relation to SDG 4.7 target themes (sustainability, human rights, global citizenship, etc.) and subsequently analysed according to the sustainability competencies defined by Wiek et al. (2015). The findings indicate that the curriculum is fully aligned with the themes of “sustainability, environment, and resources” and “human rights, democracy, and equality.” Conversely, alignment with the “global citizenship” theme remains low, while “cultural heritage” is addressed through a local and national lens. Regarding competencies, systems-thinking and interpersonal competencies are strongly integrated across all grade levels. Strategic competency is present at a moderate level, whereas anticipatory and integrated problem-solving competencies are primarily represented in the upper grades (6th and 7th). Consequently, it is concluded that the 2024 Social Studies Curriculum possesses a strong orientation towards environmental awareness and democratic values. However, consistent with the Maarif Model’s emphasis on “national identity construction,” the global citizenship dimension remains relatively limited within the curriculum.
