Özet:

Turkish education is not a static process in which knowledge is transferred, but a process based on skill development. The aim of Turkish education is to train individuals who can understand what they read and listen to and express their understanding effectively with their speaking and writing skills. In addition to language skills, developing thinking skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, creative thinking, and research is another goal of Turkish education. It is known that there is a mutually reinforcing relationship between language skills and thinking skills. While the development of comprehension and expression skills determines the quality of an individual's thinking skills, the development of thinking skills determines the quality of language skills. This close relationship between language and thought makes it necessary to include activities aimed at improving thinking skills in Turkish lessons. In recent years, the interest of philosophy for children / philosophy with children approach has attracted attention in the world and in our country. The similarity between the aims determined in the Turkish Language Teaching Program and the aims of the philosophy approach for children is striking. In this context, the primary aim of the study is to reveal the similarity between the aims of the philosophical approach for children and the aims of Turkish education. Another aim of the study is to raise awareness on how to benefit from the philosophy approach for children in Turkish lessons.
