Özet:

 The subjects related to population geography constitute an essential part of geography textbooks. Geography textbooks pertaining to each period reflect the characteristics of its own era. In this regard, population geography topics took place in geography textbooks during the reign of the Ottoman State. These textbooks continued to be taught during the initial period of the Republic and received occasional updates. This study analyzes the population geography topics contained in the high school geography textbooks printed during the 1939-1942 period and in 2019 with a view to revealing their similarities and differences in terms of content. This study compares 1939, 1942, and 2019 editions of geography textbooks officially approved in Turkey for the high school level. This research is conducted via textual analysis, a qualitative research method. As a result of the study, it was observed that the geography textbooks pertaining to each period involved population geography data which were up to date during their times. In addition, the geography textbooks of the 1939-1942 period were prepared in accordance with the regional geography approach. However, the 2019 edition geography books were prepared from a systematic geography perspective and contained the population geography topics accordingly. The regional geography approach was the determining factor in the teaching of geography lessons during the 1939-1942 period. In this regard, the textbooks taught in the second and third degrees of high school were prepared according to the regional geography approach. As geography education is based on themes in secondary schools in Turkey today, population geography topics are taught accordingly in the textbooks. For instance, in the 2009 edition of geography textbooks, in regard to the development of the population in Turkey, the address-based population registration system ADNKS is explained and various data pertaining to this system are used. On the other hand, the 1939 edition geography books do not contain this information because the ADNKS had not yet been established at the time. 1939 edition General Geography textbook spares a relatively long section on the topic of races, religions, and languages. However, these topics are not directly handled in the 2019 edition books.

 Nüfus coğrafyasına ait konular coğrafya ders kitaplarının temel unsurlarından birisidir. Her dönemin coğrafya ders kitabı kendi özelliğini yansıtır. Bu çerçevede nüfus coğrafyası konuları Osmanlı devleti zamanında coğrafya ders müfredatlarında yer almıştır. Bu kitaplar cumhuriyetin ilk döneminde de okutulmaya devam etmiş, zaman zaman güncellemeler yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma, 1939-1942 yıllarında ve 2019 yılında basılmış lise coğrafya ders kitaplarında yer alan nüfus coğrafyası konularını ele almakta ve bunların içerik olarak benzer ve farklıklarını incelemektedir. Çalışmada, Türkiyede lise düzeyi için resmi olarak onaylanan 1939, 1942 ve 2019 basımı coğrafya ders kitapları karşılaştırılmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilen bu araştırma, doküman incelemesine dayanmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonucunda her iki döneme ait coğrafya ders kitaplarının, kendi zamanları itibariyle güncel nüfus coğrafyası verileri barındırdığı görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte 1939-1942 dönemi coğrafya ders kitapları bölgesel coğrafya anlayışına uygun hazırlanmıştır. Buna karşılık 2019 basımı coğrafya kitapları sistematik coğrafya yaklaşımı ile hazırlanmış ve nüfus coğrafyası konuları da buna uygun olarak yer almıştır. 1939-1942 dönemi coğrafya dersi öğretimi anlayışında bölgesel coğrafya yaklaşımı belirleyici bir faktördür. Bu bağlamda lise ikinci sınıf ve üçüncü sınıfta okutulan ders kitapları bölgesel coğrafya anlayışına göre hazırlanmıştır. Günümüzde Türkiyede ortaöğretimde coğrafya öğretimi tema bazlı olduğundan nüfus coğrafyası konuları da kitaplarda buna uygun olarak işlenmiştir. 2019 basımı coğrafya kitaplarında öğreneğin Türkiyede nüfusun gelişimi konusu ile ilgili olarak adrese dayalı nüfus kayıt sistemi ADNKS açıklanmış ve bu sisteme ait çeşitli veriler kullanılmıştır. Buna karşılık 1939 dönemi coğrafya kitaplarında henüz ADNKS kurulmadığından kitap da bundan bahsedilmemiştir. 1939 basımı Umumi Coğrafya ders kitabında ırklar, dinler ve diller konusu bir bölüm olarak nispeten genişçe yer almıştır. 2019 basımı kitaplarda ise bu konulara doğrudan yer verilmemiştir.
