Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, v13 n1 p1-24 Jan 2020
This study aims to examine the primary education curricula prepared in 2017 in the context of gaining socialization, multiculturalism and democratic values. Analyses are carried out on the basis of social adaptation, social norms, individual responsibility, multicultural education, democracy culture, and rights and freedoms. The study is limited to the curricula of "Life Sciences", "Social Studies" and "Human Rights, Citizenship and Democracy" courses in which these knowledge and skills are predominant and carried out within the scope of the primary education curricula published by the Ministry of National Education in 2017. The study is conducted using document analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods. The data are analyzed using both descriptive and content analysis. The aims and the objectives of "Life Sciences", "Social Studies" and "Human Rights, Citizenship and Democracy" courses curricula are examined under the themes of socialization, democratic values and multiculturalism and categorized in terms of cognitive, affective and psychomotor learning domains. It is concluded that, in total, the number of objectives related to social adaptation, social norms and individual responsibility is qualitatively sufficient; however, the number of objectives related to democratic values and multiculturalism is insufficient in the primary education curricula.
