The sample of the research consists of 10 randomly selected and volunteered students from 6^th grade students attending 6 different branches in Pursaklar district of Ankara province. The data obtained were analyzed according to the descriptive approach. With this study, it is important in terms of social studies teachers' coursework because it allows students to read visually, understand what they watch, appeal to multiple senses, teach values, concepts, skills and allow self-learning. As a result, it has been determined that the use of documentaries (mainly short documentaries) in social studies lessons is an effective teaching material that grabs students' attention and provides permanence in learning. Therefore, it is recommended that the Ministry of National Education introduce a documentary course at every grade.
