 Çizgi filmler birden çok duyu organına hitap etmesi ve çocukların ilgisini yüksek oranda çeken filmler olması sebebiyle sosyal bilgiler dersinde etkili bir biçimde kullanılabilecek materyaller arasında yer almaktadır. Özellikle somut işlemler döneminden soyut işlemler dönemine geçiş yapmakta olan çocukların, sosyal bilgilere özgü birçok soyut konu ve kavramın somutlaştırılmasında ve öğrenilmesinde çizgi filmlerin katkı sağlayacağı söylenebilir. Dolayısıyla öğretmenlerin sosyal bilgiler öğretiminde çizgi film kullanımına ilişkin deneyim ve görüşlerinin aydınlatılması önemli görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda araştırmanın amacı sosyal bilgiler derslerinde çizgi film kullanımının öğretmen görüş ve deneyimleri doğrultusunda incelenmesidir. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden olgubilime göre desenlenmiştir. Çalışma grubu, araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden 18 sosyal bilgiler öğretmeninden oluşmaktadır. Veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi tekniğiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcıların çizgi filmlere ilişkin genel algılarının olumlu yönde olduğu; sosyal bilgiler öğretiminde çizgi filmleri aktif katılım sağlama, derse dikkat çekme, öğrenmelerin kalıcılığını sağlama ve değer eğitimi verme amacıyla kullandıkları görülmüştür. Katılımcılar sosyal bilgiler öğretimi bağlamında daha çok kültürel değerlere, tarihi olaylara, sosyal sorunlara ve çeşitli tarihi ve doğal güzelliklere vurgu yapan çizgi film temalarını tercih ettiklerini belirtmişlerdir. Araştırma bulgularından hareketle etkili bir öğretim materyali olarak sosyal bilgiler derslerinde çizgi filmlerden yararlanılabileceği söylenebilir.
