The aim of the study is to determine the problems experienced by the
Social Studies teachers teaching in classes with Syrian students not living in
the temporary refuge centre and the solution recommendations to these problems.
The research is based on case study being one of the qualitative patterns. 26
Social Studies teachers in total were interviewed face to face. The data were
analysed with the content analysis method. Five themes regarding the problems
and five themes regarding the solutions of these problems were developed at the
end of the study. The mostly emphasized findings in the themes concerning the
problems that the Social Studies teachers experienced were problems such as not
knowing Turkish, indifference to the class and failure, not being able to
familiarize with the topics of the course, wavering between Arabic culture and
Turkish culture and not being able to feel that they belong in the place they
live/ non-assimilation. As for the problems that the Social Studies teachers
experience, the solution recommendations were; providing adaptation training,
bringing in the feeling of embracing where one lives, civic education, peer
support, enriching the educational process, giving social support to families,
showing empathy towards students and everyone to be patient within this
process. There were also suggestions for new researches based on the results of
this study.
