In this study titled “Should only victories be mentioned in history courses at primary level? Or should defeats also be shown?”, the opinions of the pre-service teacher Mehmet Hulusi, Mehmed Ali, Mehmed Kemal, Muvassad Zeki, Mehmed Niyazi and Hüseyin Avni Efendi on the written exam on the relevant topic after the practice classes exams during the directorship of Satı Bey, and finally the reviews of Satı Bey on the subject are included. In the relevant evaluations, some of the preservice teachers argue that only wins should be mentioned, while others state that both wins and losses should be explained. Satı Bey states that these mentions should be held carefully by trying not to violate the respect and affection towards the ancestors and past, and that the effect of the losses should not outweigh the effect of wins.
