Abstract:

 


In this research, images related to national
identity were examined in history textbooks. In the first stage, nationalism,
the historical course of the Turkish national identity and related literature
were examined, and some components of national identity were determined.  Various categories related to national
identity have been formed from the elements obtained. The data about the
categories were collected through document analysis.  In the second phase, 8 history textbooks
taught in the years 1930-2014 were selected as samples. Content analysis was
used in the examination of the mentioned textbooks, and quantitative method was
chosen in data analysis. In this context, data obtained by document analysis
were analyzed with SPSS 13 statistical program. Chi-square tests, Bonferroni
corrections for chi-square tests and graphs were used in the analyzes. The
significance level for all analyzes was taken as .05. In the research, it was
determined that republic values and revolutions, national struggle and the
images related to the founder leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk be a most used in
Turkish Republic Revolution History and Kemalism textbooks concerning national
identity.  In addition, it has been found
that the images of national symbols such as homeland maps, flag, parliament,
and capital are used too much for the national identity.
