Bu çalışma, sosyal bilgiler dersinde mekânsal vatandaşlıkla ilgili konuların öğretimine ilişkin sosyal bilgiler öğretmenlerinin görüşlerini incelemek amacıyla 2018-2019 eğitim öğretim yılında Kastamonu il merkezinde görev yapan sosyal bilgiler öğretmenleri ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veriler sosyal bilgiler öğretmenleri ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Sosyal bilgiler öğretmenlerine uzman görüşleri alınarak hazırlanmış 11 açık uçlu soru sorulmuştur. Görüşmeden elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yoluyla nitel veri analiz programı olan Nvivo 11 programıyla çözümlenmiştir. Çalışmadan ortaya çıkan sonuçlara göre; sosyal bilgiler öğretmenleri, mekânı yaşanılan yer olarak algılamakta ve mekân bilgisinin sosyal bilgilerde öğrencilerin çevresini tanıyarak yaşadığı yere aidiyet duygusu kazanmaları bakımından oldukça önemli görmektedir. Öğretmenlerin mekânsal vatandaşlığı, dersin doğası ve programda bulunan değer ve becerilerden yola çıkarak yorumladıkları ve mekânsal vatandaşlığın öneminin farkında oldukları anlaşılmıştır. Öğretmenler mekânsal vatandaşlığı insanlar, yerler ve çevreler öğrenme alanıyla ilişkilendirmiş, vatanseverlik değeri ve mekânı kullanma becerisini de mekânsal vatandaşlıkla en ilişkili olan değer ve beceri olarak ifade etmişlerdir. Ayrıca öğretmenler öğrencilere mekânsal vatandaşlık bilgisinin kazandırılmasının onların günlük hayatını kolaylaştıracağını da ifade etmişlerdir. Bu çalışma mekânsal vatandaşlığın sosyal bilgiler dersi içerisindeki önemine dikkat çekilmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu nedenle, çalışmada mekânsal vatandaşlık konusu öğretmen görüşleri ile detaylı olarak incelenmiş ve konuyla ilgili ortaya çıkan sonuçlara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.

“…In the context of curriculum, the focus of geography education is to understand the relationship between environmental issues and the community, as well as their impact on the daily lives of the community.

The purpose of this article is to draw a comparison between the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) Geography curriculum and the Standard Document for Curriculum and Assessment (SDCA) of secondary school geography. The study includes analysis of the geography curriculum document at Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI) and the Standards-Based Curriculum for Secondary School (SBCSS) for the subject of geography. A relationship matrix of parallel themes was identified using ATLAS.ti software. The themes examined were physical geography, human geography, and geographic skills. The results of the analysis show that 14 out of 16 courses in the B.Ed. in Geography were comparable to the SDCA of Geography SBCSS for Forms 1 to 3. There were eight subjects in the SDCA of Geography SBCSS that were not related to the instructional plan of the B.Ed. in Geography: two Form 1 topics -Position and Sketch Map of Malaysia; three Form 2 topics -Telecommunications in Malaysia, Types of and Transportation Development in Asia, and Green Technology; and three Form 3 topics -Natural Plants in Malaysia, Wildlife in Malaysia, and Recycling. The study concludes that the Department of Geography & Environment needs to improve the existing courses and add relevant courses to the B.Ed. Geography in order for it to be compatible with the latest school curriculum. The findings of this study should enhance the education system at university level by helping to produce future teachers who possess the latest knowledge and 21 st century skills in line with Malaysia's aspirations of becoming a developed nation.
