Çokkültürlülük ve Yurtseverlik Bağlamında Azınlık Öğrencilerinin Tarih Dersleriyle İlgili Algıları

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate perceptions of students who attend minority school with respect to history lessons in the context of multiculturalism and patriotism in Turkey. The study group consists of intentionally chosen 199 students attending at different minority schools in Istanbul. Survey method was used in this study. The Multiculturalism Attitude Scale, Patriotism Scale and a questionnaire, developed by the researchers, examining cultural diversity in history lessons were used. In analyzing date, t- test, arithmetic mean and standard deviation were used. The findings of the study indicated that existing cultural diversity in Turkey founds a very limited place in history lessons and a discriminatory or the other language or rhetoric toward different cultural groups was used in the history textbooks. For the same reason, history lessons were found too far from constituting patriotic emotions for culturally different students
