It is known that it is teachers who put Science and Technology curricula into practice in schools; therefore, it is essential that they should be aware of new approaches to and theories of learning and teaching. Furthermore, it is believed that Science and Technology classes can best be carried out in laboratories. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to evaluate certain laboratory experiments conducted in accordance with the 5E learning cycle model. First, 40 primary school teaching students’ reports were chosen out of a total of 60 primary school teaching students’ reports. Afterwards, the 40 primary school teaching students who had written these reports were provided with an interview form. An analysis of the experiment reports suggested that the students had some deficiencies. Finally, some recommendations were made to overcome these deficiencies.","PeriodicalId":358961,"journal":{"name":"International Online Journal of Educational Sciences","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114322866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fare indispensable sources of education period. Prepared separately for each course, Textbook are fundamental materials of education. The preparation of these books that have such an importance is a tough process. Especially sources used in the preparation of Social Studies Textbook determine the quality of the book as they affect the content of the book. Qualified and various sources should be used to prepare qualified Social Studies Textbook. This study bases on the analysis of sources used in the preparation of Social Studies Textbook published to be used in the fourth and fifth grades of primary school. “Document Analysis” method, a research method used in social scienced, is used to maket his investigation.","PeriodicalId":358961,"journal":{"name":"International Online Journal of Educational Sciences","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125965935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
