OpenAlex İngilizce

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the vocabulary in terms of analogy, metaphor, idiom, and proverb in a first-grade social studies textbook for secondary schools in Turkey, published in 1978. In the study, a qualitative approach was adopted and a document analysis technique was used. Two different analysis methods were used to identify and categorize analogies, metaphors, proverbs, and idioms in the social studies textbook. Content analysis was used to identify analogies, metaphors, idioms, and proverbs. The descriptive analysis method was used to categorize analogies and distribute metaphors, idioms, proverbs, and analogies among the units. According to the results obtained from the study, it was determined that while the textbook mostly included activator, verbal, concrete-concrete, structural, and simple analogies, it did not include any pictorial, concrete-abstract, abstract-abstract, or organizing analogies. The analogies were not evenly distributed over the units throughout the book. In addition, although the number of analogies was considered sufficient, their quality was insufficient. Also, the textbook did not include enough metaphors, idioms, and proverbs compared to other books in the literature. Idioms were found to be used throughout the course book, but proverbs were not. As a result of the study, suggestions were presented for using analogies, metaphors, idioms, and proverbs in textbooks and for the studies that can be done in this field.
