Abstract:

The aim of this study is to determine the views of social information teachers on the teaching of current subjects. The model of the research is a case study of quality research methods. The work group consists of 12 social information teachers who work in the official secondary schools in the 2016-2017 educational year. In the collection of data, a semi-configured interview form was used. The data obtained in the research was analyzed by the visual analysis method. According to the research results, Social Information teachers have pointed out that current subjects prepare students for life, increase their interest in the lesson and enable them to participate more actively in the lesson. However, they expressed that they them grow as effective citizens by closely witnessing the real state of the society in which they were. Teachers have expressed that they see current subjects as complementary to the social information course, and they use them as soon as they arrive in the classroom. The teachers said they used the methods of questioning and discussing the current subjects. They also noted that the issues are not political, that they are concerned with society and that they are related to achievements. They have found that there should be a lot of bullying, terror and anarchy among the current topics, and they have seen lesson books inadequate in terms of current topics. Teachers have seen the problem that students come to class with the predictions they have gained in their families and their surroundings in relation to current topics, the lack of time and the pulling of topics into politics.
