Özet:

This study aims to evaluate the texts in the Turkish curriculum books from the point of view of the reading trends of high school students. The research was carried out according to the screening model. The sample of the study was randomly chosen among students studying in a high school in the Giresun province center (n=400). In addition, the source of data concerning the study’s curriculum books consists of the 5, 6, 7 and 8 class Turkish curriculum books that are used in the same school. The data on the read tendency of high school students have been collected with the reading tendency survey. The document examination technique has been applied to determine the characteristics of the kind, subject and author of the curriculum books. The data obtained is analyzed by quality analytics techniques. The research has found that the text in high school Turkish curricula books in terms of type, subject and writer does not meet the students' reading tendencies sufficiently. However, it is important to find that in terms of type, subject and writer, the students’ reading tendencies are the text choice in the opposite direction.
