Mind and conceptual maps with photographic memory techniques in the teaching of adolescence: The concept of Murâkabe

"Youth" as a concept is the age group between 12-25, which is the period of reaching puberty, the end of childhood biologically and psychologically, and the period of social life. The "Youth Period", which is one of the critical stages of human life, has always been the subject of discussion and has caused "conflicts" between generations. According to the conditions of each period, "Youth Problems" have been and discussed. Young, alive in body, alive in spirit; It means a person whose heart is open to sharing and has high expectations from life. The youth of our age is in a very radical and rapid change process with the effect of internet, television, media and differentiating environmental factors. The main problem of youth; Considering that there is no fundamental existence that shapes the soul and gives meaning to existence in the inner world, this thesis aims to make it easier to understand Sufism, which is the center of morality, by using concept maps and analogy, in order to introduce our young people to the belief in Allah. "Concept and Mind Maps", which were developed on the basis of "Meaningful Learning", were defined and the importance of their use in education was pointed out. In the second part of the thesis; Adolescence periods, the physical, sexual, mental, emotional, social, moral and personal development of the adolescent in this process are mentioned. It has been expressed in a scientific language that the method of teaching by endearing and facilitating, which is a prophetic method, is in harmony with analogy and concept maps. In the fourth part of our study; In this study, information was given about the connection between the concept of Murâkabe, which means preservation and protection, and the names of Allah, and it was tried to give the awareness that the only way to achieve Ihsan consciousness in all areas of the adolescent's life is through Murâkabe. Analogy and concept maps prepared with objects that will ensure permanence in the memory and attract the attention of the youth are supported by hadith, verses and parables. In order to measure the level of readiness, 19 students in the 11-21 age group studying at Esma Hatun Girls' Course were interviewed by preparing questions about the concept of Murâkabe.
