Journal Title: Turkish History Education Journal - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to reveal social studies teachers’ views related to the usage of war and peace concepts in their courses. The research was conducted in accordance with phenomenological pattern, a qualitative research method. The study group consisted of 15 teachers that worked in middle schools from Sakarya in 2014-2015 academic year. The semi-structured interview form, developed by the researchers, was used to collect data. The data obtained through the interview were evaluated via descriptive analysis. They stated that while teaching war, mostly political events are emphasized and while teaching peace no events are emphasized. While teaching both subjects, influenced by their nationalist emotions, they act subjective. They also stated that while teaching war and peace concepts, they mostly use discovery-learning strategies but while doing so they have some difficulties because of international politics, the social environment and the problems arising from the events around the world. At the end of the research, it was concluded that it is necessary to approach these terms from all dimensions and those should be taught to students through different methods.
