It is a fact that in every period of history, in countries where education flourished, science
flourished, too; in countries where science flourished, education also flourished. These two
phenomena, which nourish each other mutually, play an important role for today’s societies
to have a voice in global affairs. For this reason, children’s interest and curiosity for science
should be enhanced in order to be a pioneer of science in Turkish and Islamic world. To achieve
this goal, scientists who can be role models and the scientific researches they contributed to
should be included in the textbooks. The purpose of this study is to reveal how and how much
these scientists are included in social sciences courses. For this purpose, the curriculum and
the textbooks of social sciences courses have been examined. According to the results acquired
from our research, it is seen that the majority of the scientists mentioned in the 4th, 5th, 6th and
7th grade course books/workbooks are from Western civilization and the ones from Turkish Islamic civilization were selected mostly from those who studied social sciences while many
of the Turkish and Muslim scientists who made great contributions to the world of science are
excluded.
