摘要：The curriculum of the primary school science course
was redesigned on the basis of constructivism in 2005-2006
academic years, in Turkey. In this context, the name of this course
has been changed as ¡°Science and Technology¡±; and both content
and course books, students workbooks for this course have been
redesigned in light of constructivism. The aim of this study is to
determine whether the Science and Technology course books and
student work books for primary school 5th grade are appropriate for
the constructivism by evaluating them in terms of the fundamental
principles of constructivism. In this study, out of qualitative research
methods, documentation technique (i.e. document analysis) is
applied; while selecting samples, criterion-sampling is used out of
purposeful sampling techniques. When the Science and Technology
course book and workbook for the 5th grade in primary education are
examined, it is seen that both books complete each other in certain
areas. Consequently, it can be claimed that in spite of some
inadequate and missing points in the course book and workbook of
the primary school Science and Technology course for the 5th grade
students, these books are attempted to be designed in terms of the
principles of constructivism. To overcome the inadequacies in the
books, it can be suggested to redesign them. In addition to them, not
to ignore the technology dimension of the course, the activities that
encourage the students to prepare projects using technology cycle
should be included.
