Özet:

Social information comes at the beginning of the important courses in Turkey related to citizenship education. The objectives related to citizenship education in the social information curriculum are clearly expressed. But the beliefs that the teacher has can affect the teaching processes in the classroom and the student behavior. This study aims to reveal the beliefs of teachers of social information about citizenship and citizenship education. In the study, the quality research method was used, 12 different social information teachers interviewed. The study of Phipps (2010) was taken advantage of the preparation of interview questions developed by researchers. The data obtained through a semi-configured interview during the research process was converted into a written document and then resolved by content analysis. The research findings show that all social information teachers believe that the main objective of social information teaching is citizenship education, value transfer and social sciences teaching. Social information teachers are very proud of the events made in connection with the Turkish History and National Days. They believe that social information teachers all believe that there is a direct relationship between social information and effective citizen education, but there are some problems in the definitions of active citizen.
