“…Another factor influential in intensifying quality social contact in order to lessen xenophobic attitudes towards migrant students is multicultural education. Multicultural education helps students develop positive attitudes towards individuals from different cultural groups, reduces discriminatory attitudes and raises tolerance among groups (Köşker & Erdoğan, 2020). In an educational system based on a single culture that denies existent diversity in social structure, individuals may develop negative and marginalizing attitudes towards different cultural groups (Parekh, 2000).…”

Due to increasing human mobility in today’s world, relations among groups are becoming more and more important. As people with different cultures come in close contact they begin to influence inter-group attitudes (Barni et al., 2020; Turner et al., 2020). Xenophobia, which can be described as negative attitudes towards migrants, is one of the most serious problems between groups caused by migration (Peterie & Neil, 2020). This study aims to investigate the relationship between social contact and xenophobic attitudes towards Syrian migrants among university students in Turkey. Data were collected from 142 university students through the Xenophobia Scale and the Revised Social Contact Scale. The data obtained were analyzed by multiple linear regression technique. The findings show that while the quality of social contact significantly predicts the xenophobic attitudes of university students, the quantity of social contact does not. The quality of social contact explains 43% of university students’ xenophobic attitudes. It is understood that the quality of social contact is highly effective in reducing xenophobic attitudes towards migrants.

“…, who analyzed the studies on multicultural education carried in Turkey between 2005 and 2014, expressed that the publications made in this field centered upon students' attitude, knowledge, awareness and classroom environments. As a continuation of this study, Köşker & Erdoğan (2020) looked into the studies on multicultural education between 2014 and 2018 with content analysis. Their study concluded that the studies on multicultural education gradually increased and, while they showed similarities to those in the previous study, the subjects researched were enriched, and new studies were carried out on multicultural education practices and multicultural education tools.…”

“…Although multicultural education is a type of education based on the dynamics of multiculturalism, it is not an education that is only provided to students who are not members of the dominant culture of the society and who are of different cultures, but it is a type of education that provides equal educational opportunities to all students (Acar Çiftçi & Aydın, 2014). Köşker & Erdoğan (2020) states that multicultural education helps students to develop positive attitudes towards individuals from different cultural groups, reduces their discriminatory attitudes, increases the level of tolerance between groups, and thus provides students with opportunities and experiences to get to know their own culture and other cultures. In societies where cultural differences such as ethnic origin, race, language, religion, gender, etc.…”

Purpose: This paper aims to evaluate the findings of studies investigating multiculturalism in social studies teaching in Turkey. Studies examining the concept of multiculturalism, which belongs to an important place in the social studies course, were analyzed, and the findings related to what was focused most, what was needed and the subjects that had never been investigated before were presented.Design/Methodology/Approach: The meta-synthesis method, which is one of the qualitative methods based on interpreting and synthesizing the findings of the studies, carried out with a qualitative and mixed method investigating multiculturalism in the field of social studies teaching. In the meta-synthesis method, researches on the same subject are interpreted from a critical point of view by creating themes or main templates. Within the scope of the "inclusion criteria" determined, 11 studies examining multiculturalism in social studies teaching were analysed. Findings:The findings showed that in order to describe the current situation, the great majority of the studies examined the documents, and the data collection and data analysis methods were similar due to the document analysis method. Studies examining multiculturalism in different units of the curriculum of social studies course show that the situations of addressing multiculturalism in the program have varied over the years, and that there have been significant developments over time in terms of the representation of multiculturalism in the context of learning domain. Studies conducted on social studies textbooks show that the reflection of multiculturalism on books took place later than the curriculum. As a result, it is seen that the level of multiculturalism is still not sufficient. Conclusion:Instead of conducting descriptive studies that determine the extent to which multiculturalism is represented in social studies documents, social studies researchers are suggested to carry out studies using different methods that create products for the creation of multicultural education environments that can be carried out with a social studies curriculum.
