Abstract
The aim of this study is to reveal whether there is any change in the level of "Armenian Claims" content knowledge of secondary school history and basic education social studies teachers after their participation in the in-service training programme. 110 history and social studies teachers participated in the study. Pre-test-post-test control group design was used as the method in the study. The experimental group teachers participated in the in-service training programme called "History and Social Studies Teachers' Provincial Council Presidents Information Seminar" organised by the Turkish Ministry of National Education, Board of Education and Board of Education in Erzurum province. The control group teachers did not participate in any in-service training programme. As a data collection tool, an academic achievement test consisting of 21 multiple-choice questions on "Armenian Claims" developed by the researcher was applied to both groups. As a result of the study, it was seen that the experimental group history and social studies teachers increased their field knowledge on "Armenian Claims" compared to the control group teachers.
