Examination of 'translation' skills in Turkish education and their appearance in Turkish textbooks

This research aims to examine the Turkish Course Curriculum (2019) and Turkish textbooks within the scope of translation skill, which is a sub-skill of the comprehension level in Bloom Taxonomy. The main problem of the research is to examine the status of the achievements in the Turkish Curriculum in terms of translation skill and to determine how the subtextual activities in Turkish textbooks include this skill. The Turkish Course Curriculum (2019) and Turkish textbooks prepared by the Ministry of Education, which are currently used as teaching materials between the 5th and 8th grade levels, constituted the examination objects of the research. The data in the Turkish Lesson Curriculum (2019) and Turkish textbooks were obtained through document analysis. "Activity Evaluation Checklist for Translation Skills" created by the researcher was used to examine the translation activities in the books. At the end of the research, it is expected to reach the conclusion that the translation skill, which is an important stage for students to make sense of the text and is frequently used in daily life, is not included adequately in the activities in the textbooks and the activities related to this skill in the book are repetitive.
