Özet:

Literary works in which emotions, thoughts and dreams are interpreted orally or in writing, are used as a lesson material in the educational-learning process. The use of literary products as a teaching tool in social information teaching has recently begun to become more and more widespread. In the Social Information curriculum (2005) the emphasis on the use of literary works is also highlighted. In this context, social information courses are expected to encourage students to read literary works of memories, biography, narrative, legend, travel writing, daily, story, article, fairy tale, letter, memorial, novel, politics, narrative, poetry and theatre. The aim of this study is to identify the opinions of teachers and teachers candidates on the use of literary works in the social information course. The research work group consists of 24 teachers of social information working in various primary schools in the province of Rize and 24 teachers candidates studying in the field of social information education in the primary education department of the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University School of Education. Qualitative research patterns have used a semi-configured conversation form as a data collection tool in the study designed according to the situation study. In the analysis of the collected data, the quality research techniques used content analysis and visual analysis. The results of the study show that teachers and teachers candidates find the use of literary works in social information teaching generally useful, they prefer to use many types of stories and they tend to choose literary works that will contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the course.
