摘要：AbstractA qualified and an effective citizen is the one who is aware of his values and reflects his virtues into his own life. The course which aims to educate a citizen with these qualities in our country is Social Studies. Social Studies education enables person to have a concept of merit and creates an application area for it. In this sense, it is aimed for the students in primary and secondary education to reveal a value perspective and to create a value comparison. For this purpose values planned to be developed in the social studies programme for 5th-8th grades such as honesty, justice, helpfulness, solidarity have been selected. Singular cross-hatching model has been used in this study among general cross-hatching models. The value association test, which was designed to achieve the goal about the topic, has been applied to 121 5th graders and 148 8th graders, that is to say totally to 269 students. Findings have been analysed in terms of frequency and percentage. Values higher than 30,20,15 and 10 cut- points have been associated with one another via mind maps.At the end of the study, mind maps of the students related with values have been drawn. When findings were examined it has been understood that students are mistaken about cooperation and charity values as well as honesty and justice. Besides, when the replies given to solidarity and helpfulness are examined, it is seen that the common value is helpfulness; similarly, when those of honesty and justice are examined, it is seen that the common values are helpfulness and honesty.
