Özet:

 History plays important roles in transferring the past presence of nations to future generations as a cultural treasure that determines the development direction of nations over time, ensures the integration of the individual with their own society, and keeps their community consciousness alive. This characteristic of history has made it a subject of discussion closely interested in every period in Turkey. After the foundation of the Republic, how to teach history has been the subject of debate among Turkish intellectuals, and as a result of these discussions, the Turkish Historical Society was established with the instruction of Atatürk. Since its establishment, the Turkish Historical Society has tried to explain Turkish history within the framework of scientific facts by conducting archaeological excavations, preparing books, and organizing conferences at regular intervals. Particularly how to teach Turkish history and the problems in history teaching in Turkey took an important place in the congresses that were organized by the institution. In the present study, the purpose was to uncover the problems in history teaching in Turkey within the framework of the research papers presented at the congresses organized by the Turkish Historical Society since its establishment. The sources of this study based on document analysis were the papers presented at the Turkish History Congresses. The data obtained in the study were analyzed with the content analysis technique and themes and sub-themes were created. According to the study results, there were 8 themes, including focusing on certain periods and subjects for problems in history teaching in Turkey, methodology problems, inadequacies in teaching the history of the revolution, the problem of historical reality, lack of spirality, problems arising from historiography, language problem in history textbooks, and lack of gender equality. Depending on these, 7 sub-themes were identified as historiography from the western perspective, historiography based on political history, separation of political history and cultural history, the spread of popular history, inadequacy of the contents of national history, the inadequacy of the contents of world history and definition of Ottoman history with myths.

 Tarih, milletlerin geçmişteki varlığını gelecek nesillere aktarmada önemli bir görev üstlenmektedir. Milletlerin zaman içindeki gelişme yönünü belirleyen, bireyin kendi toplumu ile bütünleşmesini sağlayan ve ondaki toplum şuurunu canlı tutan bir kültür hazinesidir. Tarihin bu özelliği onu her dönem Türkiyede yakından ilgilenilen bir tartışma konusu haline getirmiştir. Cumhuriyetin kuruluşuyla birlikte tarihin nasıl öğretileceği Türk aydınları arasında tartışma konusu olmuş ve bu tartışmaların sonucunda Atatürkün talimatıyla Türk Tarih Kurumu kurulmuştur. Türk Tarih Kurumu kuruluşundan itibaren arkeolojik kazılar yapmak, kitaplar hazırlamak ve belirli aralıklarla konferanslar düzenlemek suretiyle Türk tarihini bilimsel gerçekler çerçevesinde anlatmaya çalışmıştır. Kurumun düzenlemiş olduğu kongrelerde özellikle Türk tarihinin nasıl öğretileceği ve Türkiyede tarih öğretimindeki sorunlar önemli bir yer teşkil etmiştir. Bu çalışmada Türk Tarih Kurumunun kuruluşundan günümüze kadar düzenlemiş olduğu kongrelerde sunulan tebliğler çerçevesinde Türkiyede tarih öğretimindeki sorunları ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Doküman analizine dayalı bu araştırmanın kaynaklarını Türk Tarih Kongrelerinde sunulan tebliğler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada elde edilen veriler içerik analizi tekniğiyle çözümlenerek temalar ve alt temalar oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; Türkiyede tarih öğretiminde sorunlara yönelik olarak belli dönem ve konulara ağırlık verilmesi, metodoloji sorunu, inkılâp tarihinin öğretimindeki yetersizlikler, tarihsel gerçeklik sorunu, sarmallıktan yoksunluk, tarih yazımından kaynaklanan sorunlar, tarih ders kitaplarında dil sorunu, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğinden yoksunluk olmak üzere 8 tema ve bunlara bağlı batı perspektifinde tarih yazımı, siyasi tarih ağırlıklı tarih yazımı, siyasi tarih ve kültür tarihinin ayrı ele alınması, popüler tarihin yaygınlaşması, millî tarihe ait içeriklerin yetersizliği, dünya tarihine ait içeriklerin yetersizliği ve Osmanlı tarihinin mitoslarla tanımlanması olmak üzere 7 alt tema belirlenmiştir.
