Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı, 6. sınıf fen bilimleri ders kitaplarında kök değerlere ne ölçüde yer verildiğini değerlendirmektir. Araştırmada, nitel yöntemlerden biri olan doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada 2021–2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında ortaokullarda ücretsiz olarak dağıtılan MEB Yayınları`na ait iki 6. sınıf fen bilimleri ders kitabı incelenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir. Belirlenen ders kitaplarının değerler bakımından incelenmesi için Talim ve Terbiye Kurulu Başkanlığı tarafından hazırlanmış on kök değeri içeren kriter tablosu kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, betimsel analiz yöntemleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan inceleme sonucunda ders kitaplarında en fazla ‘öz denetim’ ve ‘sorumluluk’ değerlerinden bahsedildiği, buna karşılık ‘adalet’ değerinin hiç yer almadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum öğretim programlarında yer alan tüm kök değerlere fen bilimleri ders kitaplarında aynı oranda yer verilmediği sonucunu ortaya koymaktadır.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the extent to which root values are included in the 6th grade science textbooks. In the research, document analysis, which is one of the qualitative methods, was used. In this study, two 6th grade science textbooks of MoNE Publishing, which were distributed free of charge in middle schools in the 2021-2022 academic year, were examined and analyzed. In order to examine the selected textbooks in terms of values, a criterion table containing ten root values prepared by Board of Education, was used. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive analysis methods. As a result of the examination, it was determined that the values of ‘self-control’ and ‘responsibility’ were mostly mentioned in the textbooks, while the value of ‘justice’ was not included at all. This situation reveals that all root values in the curriculum are not included in the science textbooks at the same rate.
