Evaluation of Philosophy Lesson’s Effectiveness in Secondary Education by Students’ Aspection
Öz
The purpose of this study is to determine students’ perceptions towards effectiveness
of philosophy lesson in secondary education.
Philosophy lessons are held to help an individual express himself and have an
objective outlook. But, the educational system made philosophy lessons less important,
because New Examination System does not require much knowledge about Philosophy. A
society lacking proper knowledge of Philosophy cannot improve its own questioning and
searching skills. Deficiencies in Philosophy Education led to generating individuals who
never criticise, question or even think. The only thing Secondary Education in Turkey does is
prepare students for the University Entrance Examination. Therefore, It is seen that
philosophy lessons are far away from student’s interest. Besides, The Philosophy Curriculum
is a major factor engendering interest among students in Philosophy Lessons.

academic year.
