The population of the research model is constituted by social studies textbooks of sixth and seventh grades of five secondary schools that were found appropriate by Republic of Turkey Ministry of National Education Board of Education and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus Ministry of Education Board of Education. The books were evaluated on the Likert scale using the content analysis evaluation scale. The rating of the scale was calculated as ‘yes – option 2 points’, ‘partially – option 1 point’ and ‘no – option 0 points’. The data were evaluated by scoring between 1 and 10. As a result, it was determined that the seventh grade social studies textbook of Republic of Turkey received the highest rate.
