This study was conducted in the 2008-2009 Academic Year, with 60 fifth grade students from Istanbul and Erzurum and qualitative research method was used. The students answered open-ended questions, prepared by experts, about the selected values. The result was analyzed by content and descriptive analysis.

Monitoring students to see if they internalize the appropriate attitudes and values through convenient activities in the social studies lessons is one of the suggestions.
