The Review of Primary School Science Textbooks in the Context of Values
Abstract
The first requirement for the elimination of social problems in a country is education. The curriculums, which are one of the concrete criteria of the quality of education, play an active role in achieving this goal. The gains in the curricula should include acquisitions aimed at reducing social problems. The permanence of early learning indicates the importance of including values in the gains, in other words, the implementation of value education. Reviewing the existing programs' gains is important in guiding the program developers and the textbooks towards including values education. This study examines the values in the primary school 3rd and 4th-grade science textbooks in the 2020-2021 academic year and determines their distributions and ratios. The study was carried out with document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, and data were collected by descriptive content analysis from the relevant textbooks. The results showed that ten core values identified in the curricula are not adequately addressed and are unevenly distributed in the reviewed textbooks. Therefore, it is suggested that the core values identified for the content of the textbooks should be included at a sufficient level and that they should be distributed evenly.
