Abstract
Social studies is a school subject, the content of which is composed of social sciences. It was first introduced in the United States. In Turkey, social studies appeared in secondary school curriculum programs in 1968. It consisted of history, geography and citizenship topics respectively. In 1985, it was removed from the curriculum and then later re-introduced in 1998. When the Turkish national educational system was reformed and subsequently substantial changes were made in curricular issues, the old social studies curriculum that was totally based on behaviorism was re-structured under the guidance of the constructivist learning paradigm like all other school curricula.The topic of this study is the comparison of the old and new social studies curriculum in terms of its geographic topics.
