An examination on teaching the poetry genre in Turkish Language and Literature teaching programs from the Republic to the present

This study aimed to examine the genre of poetry in Turkish Language and Literature programs in the Republican period and until today. While examining, the aim and purpose of the Turkish Language and Literature course was focused. As seen in the 'Tebliğler Magazine', which we have taken as a guide as a source, the subject of poetry, which is taught in the Turkish Language and Literature course in the curriculum of every year, has been observed to repeat itself in some periods, although it shows differences in literary and artistic terms and changes in quality. When looked at, it seems that the first thing is that the student just gets used to reading properly and thinking about the piece he has read. In the second stage, verse, prose separation and the stylistic features to be sought in an article should be taught in a simple way. The following should show the differences between literal and figurative words. Although it is not considered harmful for students to emulate literary arts, the student was not given the opportunity to work on genres such as poetry, stories, plays, and novels during the lesson. With free writing, it has been determined that the student spares time for other genres rather than poetry, outside of class hours, and the type of poetry is ignored. Keywords: poetry, period, style, purpose, literatüre.
