Özet:

The most important element that enables the realization of the aims of the curriculum in the classroom is the teachers. Turkish lesson is one of the basic lessons of the education system. Turkish teachers have many duties in order to conduct this lesson effectively. How Turkish teachers perceive the lessons they carry out constitute the basis of their practices in their lessons. For this reason, it is important to determine how the teachers perceive the “Turkish lesson” in order to reach a different perspective regarding the problems encountered in the practice of Turkish education. In this study, it was aimed to determine the perceptions of Turkish teachers towards the “Turkish lesson”. 49 Turkish teachers working in Kayseri province participated in the study. The data were collected from teacher by written interview form containing one metaphor and one definition statement. Content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data and various categories and themes were created from the coded expressions. As a result of the study, it was determined that Turkish teachers mostly consider the Turkish lesson as a lesson that is intertwined with life, helping to express yourself and is the basis of other lessons, but they rarely touch upon the subjects of developing thinking skills, conveying national values, and acquiring a taste of art and literature.
