Aysun Gürol and Seda Kerimgil

Abstract: Social Studies is a study field that combines social and humanities in order to develop citizenship competence. Social studies should be a student-centered lesson far from rote learning where students seek and find or generate information to solve problems by using their creativity freely. Rather than giving the solutions, which students never think of to the problems, the storyline method raises problems in order students find solutions with their own questioning. Teachers and students produce ideas together. This approach is experimental and constructivist in essence. By forming groups of 8 pre-service teachers, the current study was applied storyline method for 10 weeks in social studies teaching lesson to the3rd graders of primary school education department. Students’ views were taken for 8 weeks with the use of focus group discussion after the practice. In the study, qualitative research method and phenomenological method were used.

总结：1.社会研究应当远离学生死记硬背，教师帮助学生寻找到他们的创造力。而不是给与学生直接的解决方案，长期的教学对这种方法产生了质疑。

2.教师和学生应该一起共同产生想法，这种想法是在实践和实验的本质上产生的。

3.对教师的职前教育去解决这个问题。
