This study, which aims to determine social information and class teachers’ awareness of the brain-based learning approach, is an example of the quality research patterns. The study group includes 40 teachers selected through easy-to-accessed case sampling. The work group of 20 social information and 20 class teachers was formed in accordance with the principle of voluntary participation. The survey form was used as a tool for data collection, consisting of open end questions. The first part of the survey contains matters aimed at determining the demographic characteristics of teachers in the working group, and the second part includes questions about determining the knowledge, awareness and practices of teachers about the brain-based learning approach. The collected data is analyzed by content analysis, the data is categorized by creating codes and themes. When the findings were studied, it was found that teachers defined this approach as an approach that generally takes into account the principles of the brain’s work and is based on the process of learning in the brain. Teachers expressed that this approach should be provided with sufficient tools in appropriate learning environments and that the teacher should be in a guiding position in the learning process. The results of the research showed that a small portion of social information teachers, while the vast majority of class teachers, did the lessons appropriate to this approach. The teachers who expressed that they applied this approach in their lessons pointed out that the curriculum is intense as the main problem they encounter in this process.
