Abstract:

This research aims to determine the relationship between public service announcements/obligatory broadcasts and social studies curriculum and how and in what ways these publications affect the social studies curriculum. A total of 54 obligatory broadcasts and 40 public service announcements were subject to document analysis in the context of their relationship to the 2018 social studies curriculum in the research, which was designed explorative qualitative research methods. Public service announcements and obligatory publications were accessed from the RTUK website and social networking sites. Public service announcements and obligatory publications within the scope of the research were analyzed in terms of their relationship with the learning objective, learning domain, value, specific goals, and skills of the social studies curriculum. This research suggests that social studies teachers can use these broadcasts by integrating them into their courses. In this context, it is recommended that social studies teachers follow up public service announcements/obligatory broadcasts about their lessons by taking into account their up-to-dateness and use them through matching course subject and content.
