The scaling factors of opinions of teachers and testing the knowledge of students for the determination of problems faced in teaching the history of Central Asian Turks were utilized in this research. We tried to make a situation assessment regarding the subject of teaching the relevant topics, and used the general survey model. We used the “Scaling Factor of the Opinion of the Teacher Regarding Teaching the History of Central Asian Turks”, a 0,73 Cronbach Alpha credibility rating consisting of 10 items, developed by us, and the “Test of Knowledge Regarding the Topics of the History of Central Asian Turks”, a 0,91 Kuder-Richardson credibility rating consisting of 15 items. The research was performed by the participation of 17 social science teachers and 33 history teachers, and 180 6th grade students and 320 9th grade students who took those lessons in various cities and different schools, and was based on random sampling. * Yrd.
