Abstract:

Teaching materials provide effective and efficient learning experiences, offering students opportunities for active participation in instructional environments. Studies on teaching materials, within the context of theory and practice, provide advantages to both students and teachers. Muhammet Mustafa Bayraktar's book, 'Teaching Materials and Concrete Material Examples in Religious Education,' follows a approach. The book is structured into an introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion/recommendations section. In the introduction, the subject, problem, purpose, significance, and methodology of the study are discussed. The first chapter outlines the conceptual framework of the study by examining the themes of teaching materials and the use of teaching materials in religious education. The second chapter examines research findings. Accordingly, the opinions of prospective Religious Culture and Moral Education teachers who took the Teaching Technologies and Material Design course at Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Faculty of Islamic Sciences, as well as their contributions to the Religious Education Materials Exhibition organized with their participation, are analyzed. In the conclusion and recommendations section, insights and evaluations are made regarding the exhibition, and suggestions to consider when organizing a similar exhibition are developed. The book serves as a practical guide for the use of teaching materials in religious education.
