Social Studies Teachers Candidates’ Opinions about the Impact of Series and Films on Values

“…Özellikle bireyselleşme ve ben merkezci düşünce yapısının getirdiği olumsuzluklara sahne olan günümüzde değerler eğitiminin önemi daha iyi anlaşılmaktadır (Blaylock, 2003;Kaymakcan ve Meydan, 2010;Kaymakcan ve Meydan, 2020). Toplumsal alanda yaşanan gelişmeler ve küreselleşmenin etkisinin oldukça arttığı son yirmi yıllık süreçte değerlerin ve değerler eğitiminin önemi ve bu konuda yapılan çalışmalar artmıştır (Aydın ve Gürler, 2014;Biesta, 2010;Coates, 2005;Gündüz, 2016;Kaymakcan ve Meydan, 2020;Şahin ve Ersoy;Ulusoy ve Dilmaç 2012;Ünal, 2020a;Ünal, 2020b) Yapılan çalışmaların, toplumda unutulmaya yüz tutmuş değerlerin tekrar yer edinilmesinde, değerlerine sahip çıkan bireylerin yetiştirilmesinde ve toplumsal sorunlara kalıcı çözüm üretilmesinde yararlı olacağı düşünülebilir (Demirkaya ve Çal, 2018).…”
