The aim of this research is to examine the permanence of knowledge in the Cyprus Geography
classes in middle schools of Cyprus’ Turkish Society in quality and quantity and to analyse the factors,
which are influential in the permanence of this knowledge. In order to be able to understand the problems
that the residents of Cyprus’ Turkish Society have, especially the young people who confront a great
isolation in a world which is becoming a “Global Village”, with the concept of globalisation and to be able
to find solutions for these problems, we must know firstly about the problem itself and then the origins of
it. In the light of this idea, the factors that influence the permanence of knowledge acquired in the Cyprus
Geography classes which are held in Cyprus’ Turkish Society middle schools have been analysed in this
research. Throughout the research the scanning method was used, questionnaires were given while
collecting data and interviews were carried out with the teachers and students. Also, students were asked to
write compositions on geography lessons and the Cyprus Geography. Taking all the research results into
account, although the teaching and learning environments (number of students in classrooms, teaching
materials, field trips, students' study environment, etc.) in Cyprus’ Turkish Society middle schools were
appropriate, it was perceived that the students had a poor knowledge of geography with regard to Cyprus,
they did not know their country and the Cyprus Geography classes could not attain its objective.
