45855

This study aims to evaluate the social studies teaching undergraduate program which has been updated three times in the last two decades. The research was designed in accordance with the qualitative research approach and document analysis was used as a data collection tool. Descriptive analyses are given through 1998, 2006, 2018 programs of social studies education. In the light of the findings obtained, it is noteworthy in 1998 program, with the side-field application; the number of Turkish courses is remarkable. While the program of 2006 attracted attention with many social science disciplines forming social studies, this approach was abandoned in the 2018 program and the courses were mainly preferred from courses with professional knowledge (educational sciences). From the theoretical and practical point of view, the practical courses which were 32 hours in the 1998 program decreased to 28 hours in the 2006 program and 14 hours in the 2018 program; while the number of elective courses was 3 in the 1998 program, the number of elective courses increased to 16 in the 2018 program. One of the most striking findings is the decrease in the hours of courses in the programs despite the increase in the number of courses. The number of courses in the 1998 program is 57 and 163 course hours, whereas the number of lessons is 68 in the 2018 program and 154 in the hour. In time, it was concluded that the names of some courses changed and some courses were not included in 2018 program.
