45721

The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of Social Studies teachers about refugee students in the context of their own courses.The study group was selected according to the appropriate sampling method and a total of 11 Social Studies teachers were included in the research. Research data was obtained by using a semi-structured interview technique from qualitative research methods. A descriptive analysis method was used for the processing of the data. The most important findings from the survey are that Social Studies teachers have an awareness of refugee students’ language deficiencies and their cultural differences. They see that refugee students have a problem with active participation in classes and in-class communication. They think that the Social Studies course is necessary for refugee students in order to learn about Turkey and to learn about Turkish society. Efforts are made for activities within and outside the classroom, taking refugee students’ needs into account. It was found that the Social Studies curriculum is currently inadequate in terms of the integration of refugee students’needs into this course. The research was concluded by comparing the findings with the literature.
