dc.description.abstract | The historical revolution of secularism in Turkey affected religious education in schools in two key time periods: 1920s – 1930s and 1950s – 1990s. The first period saw further development of secularism after the establishment of The Republic of Turkey and the unification of the education system. The dual system of education was changed, and following many curriculum changes, religious education was removed from all schools in 1939. The next period focuses on the efforts to integrate religious education back into the system and public reactions to these efforts. The formation of Imam Hatip schools and Turkish-Islamic synthesis were the results of these efforts. This research paper also analyzes the laws made in the late twentieth century to bring back religious education and the changes in the curriculum through which religious and moral education was made compulsory in schools. Furthermore, heated debates regarding this decision will be analyzed. This research paper aims to focus on the changes that secularism had on religious education while discussing how religion was brought under the control of the state instead of being made separate from the state, which was the initial motive stated in the Kemalist era. | |
dc.description.abstract | Türkiye'nin laik olma hedefi okullardaki din eğitimini iki önemli zaman diliminde etkilemiştir: 1920'ler – 1930'lar ve 1950'ler – 1990'lar. İlk dönemde, laiklik daha da gelişti ve ikili eğitim sistemi değiştirildi. Birçok müfredat değişikliğinden sonra 1939'da din eğitimi tüm okullardan kaldırıldı. İkinci dönemde, din eğitiminin yeniden sisteme entegre edilmesine yönelik çabalara ve bu çabalara yönelik kamuoyu tepkilerine odaklanmaktadır. İmam-Hatip okullarının kurulması ve Türk-İslam sentezi bu çabaların bir sonucudur. Bu araştırma makalesi aynı zamanda yirminci yüzyılın sonlarında din eğitimini geri getirmek için yapılan yasalara ve okullarda din ve ahlak eğitiminin zorunlu hale getirilmesini sağlayan müfredat değişikliklerine odaklanmaktadır. Bu kararla ilgili olarak bu dönemde birçok hararetli tartışma yaşanmıştır; laiklik isteyenler ve İslamcılar özel Kuran okullarının kapatılması konusunda karşı karşıya geldiler. Bu araştırma makalesi, Kemalist dönemde amaçlanan ilk hedeflerden olan dinin devletten ayrı hale getirilmesi yerine; dinin nasıl devletin kontrolü altına alındığını tartışırken, laikliğin din eğitimi üzerindeki değişimlerini vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. | |
