 Demokratik ve etkin vatandaşlar yetiştirilmesinde doğrudan bir etkiye sahip olan sosyal bilgiler dersi farklı ülkelerde sosyal bilgiler ya da farklı isimlerle, farklı öğretim basamaklarında okutulmaktadır. Ülkemizde ise sosyal bilgiler dersi ilköğretim dördüncü sınıftan yedinci sınıfın sonuna kadar zorunlu bir ders olarak verilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı sosyal bilgiler dersinin çeşitli öğretim basamaklarında ve sınıflarda okutulma durumuna ilişkin sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının görüşlerini incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemine dayalı olarak yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Buna göre araştırmanın çalışma grubu 4. sınıfta öğrenim gören 15 sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adayından oluşmaktadır. Veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada verilerin analizinde içerik analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada yer alan sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adayları, Türkiyede sosyal bilgiler dersinin bulunduğu sınıf ve öğretim basamağını değerlendirirken sosyal bilgiler öğretim programından kaynaklanan sorunları ve ders saatinin yetersiz olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Araştırmada öğretmen adaylarının değer eğitimi, vatandaşlık eğitimi, öğrencilere toplumsal kuralları kazandırma ve onları yaşama hazırlama gibi nedenlerle okulöncesi eğitimde, ortaöğretimde ve yükseköğretimde sosyal bilgiler dersinin yer alması gerektiği görüşünde oldukları bulgusu elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına dayalı olarak Türkiyede okulöncesi eğitimde, ortaöğretimde ve yükseköğretimde sosyal bilgiler dersine ilişkin öğretim programları hazırlanıp uygulanabilir.
