Özet:

As an area where the methods of history writing are influenced in the same direction as the developments in the West, the methods of history teaching are continuing in Turkey as well. In this sense, the teaching of history is recognized as important for today to acquire the student's skills of historical thinking. In addition to the development of these skills, it is also observed that the scope is expanded. As one of these aspirations, Douma’s Creative Historical Thinking Approach and its recommendation to take advantage of historical questions to develop this skill is incorporated into historical thinking skills with historical problem analysis and decision-making skills. This study, designed to see the impact of dealing with historical issues/problems with creative thinking techniques on the historical problem analysis and decision-making skills, is an action research study. The research study group consists of students of a ninth class, with the existence of 30 of the Haydarpaşa High School located in Istanbul Üsküdar in the 2018-2019 academic year, and their history teacher. The work group is determined by intentional (measured) sample method. The data was collected with forms created for the applications made from students and written opinions received from the teacher. The data was analyzed with the help of the MAXQDA 2018 data analysis program with the content analysis method. During the research process, students developed cognitive skills such as analyzing historical problems; empathy building; they were in discoveries about their own capabilities and therefore developed creative problem-solving skills, so they developed a method of addressing historical questions/problems as a result of their study.
