Abstract

The most basic tool in the language teaching process is texts. Especially, modern literature teaching is based on the texts. Educational activities carried out with texts that carry the aesthetic values of the language are known to be more effective in the learning process. Besides the basic language-specific features and vocabulary teaching prioritized by curriculums, textbooks should be able to convey or impart the elements of creative thinking, critical thinking, discussion, aesthetic value and cultural heritage to students. The inculcation of these features is possible with the conduct of teaching on the basis of specific and effective models. The current study describes on which literary model (individual model, cultural model, linguistic model) the texts in Turkish textbooks are constructed. Thus, the values of texts in the teaching process will be determined. In this context, the poems in the Turkish textbooks taught in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades in the 2021-2022 school year were determined and then it was determined on which model these poems are constructed. As a result, it was concluded that while the texts constructed on the basis of the individual model and cultural model are dominant, the texts constructed on the basis of the linguistic model are few in number.
