Turkey Lise 12th Grade Curriculum - Turkish Language and Literature

Values Education in Turkish Literature

The Turkish Language and Literature curriculum emphasizes values education through the analysis of historical and literary texts. Students explore universal values such as justice, friendship, honesty, self-control, patience, respect, love, responsibility, and benevolence within the context of Turkish literature. One example is the analysis of Şerh-i Sebistan-ı Hayal by Dervi Muhammed Şifayi, which offers insights into these values through various literary techniques and wordplays. This work, originally written in Persian, has been adapted into Turkish and provides students with a rich source for exploring cultural and ethical values within a historical context. The curriculum encourages students to connect these values to their own lives and to develop a deeper understanding of their importance in society.
