Examination of Life Studies Coursebooks in Terms of Inclusive Education
Öz
Every individual in a society has unique characteristics and distinctive skills. However, certain individuals exhibit significant differences from others. Inclusive education practices were put into practice by focusing on individuals with special differences. In order for these practices to be successful, especially some materials need to be arranged. In primary schools, the life studies course is one of the most common courses in addition to Turkish and Math in Turkey. Accordingly, the life studies course is placed in an important position. Therefore, it is important to note how compatible Life studies coursebooks are with the inclusion practice. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the life studies coursebooks, which were used in the 2019-2020 education period, in terms of inclusive education practices. For this purpose, three Life studies coursebooks belonging to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades of primary school were evaluated by using document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods. Descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the data. According to the descriptive analysis method, the data patterns obtained from the research are analyzed according to the predetermined size or themes. For this reason, the code guide developed by the researcher was used as a data collection tool. As a result of the research, it has been determined that Life studies coursebooks are quite insufficient in terms of inclusion.
