Abstract:

 Adapting to the social environment is regarded as necessary and crucial for an individual to develop some personal qualities and values throughout his or her life. One of the most important tasks of primary schools is to cultivate personal qualities and values. The life studies curriculum emerges as a course in which students gain personal characteristics or values to fulfill the twin aim of developing productive citizens and preparing the individual for life. The major objective of this study is to ascertain how third-grade primary school students convey the value of justice, responsibility, and friendship, which is one of the root values, through written statements and visual depictions. The data for the study that utilized the case study was gathered using a data collecting form that included three open-ended questions and three picture drawings linked to these topics. The study group consisted of 64 third-grade students from a primary school using the typical situation sampling methodology, which is one of the deliberate sampling methods. The open-ended questions were analyzed using content analysis, while the pictures were analyzed using a visual analysis approach. Some of the results obtained in the research are as follows: Primary school 3rd-grade students shared the value of justice as follows: those who provide justice, equality, sharing, punishment, democracy, being right, being fair, happiness, honesty, respect, being helpful, acting rationally, republic, love, and future in writing. And they depicted it as those who provide justice, punishment, equality, and fairness in pictures. The value of responsibility is defined in writing as the behaviors necessary for responsibility, the things for which we are accountable, honesty, and self-awareness. It is visually depicted as follows: the work for which we are accountable, our responsibility to school, our responsibility to family, our responsibility to nature, our responsibility to friends, and our responsibility to animals. Students in the third grade of primary school defined friendship as the following in writing: friendship, love, helping, happiness, respect, sharing, acting well, trusting, solidarity, playing games, collaboration, unity, and solidarity, honesty, peace, and tolerance, avoiding lying, family, instructor, empathy, and achievement. And they illustrated them as love, nature love, playing games, friendship, family, helping one another, sharing, animal love, happiness, collaboration, compassion, being alike, empathy, school, keeping secrets, and spending time together.
