ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of population policies enacted in Turkey on population topics in high school textbooks for geography course. For this purpose, the textbooks that were taught at high school level in 1923-1963, 1964-1982, and 1983 were examined. General screening model was used in the study. The data were analysed by document analysis which is one of the qualitative research analyses. As a result of the analysis of the data, it is seen that the policies towards increasing the population between the years 1923-1963 were reflected in the textbooks. For this period, the implemented population policy was reflected in textbooks stating that the natural increase of population was not sufficient and a steady increase in population was needed for development. Between 1964 and 1982, a policy was made to reduce the population growth rate. The policies made in this period were reflected in the textbooks during not the first years, but the following years. In the text books of those times, it is seen that the rapid increase in the population was regarded as a problem and it increased the dependent population. When we examine the textbooks that were taught in the year 1983 and later, it is seen that there is a need for a certain planning. As a result, in the textbook, in the periods when policies towards increasing population growth were observed, it was observed that population increase was reflected as positive, while in the periods when policies towards decreasing population growth were followed, negative aspects of population growth were emphasized. For a more effective education process, diverse aspects of the content to be taught need to be taken into consideration.
