Abstract:

According to the most widely-accepted definition, mentation is a process of producing different thoughts through analyzing, comparing and associating information and concepts in order to get to a result. The mental product produced as a result of these processes is called “thought”. Over the years, the importance of mentation training is discovered on this issue; seminars and conferences started to be organized by specialists, many books have been written on the importance of mentation. As a consequence of the many studies carried out on mentation training, a co-decision is made on integrating the problem-solving and decision-making skills, which are valued within the frame of mentation training, into primary school curriculum. It can be said that various stimulants that students are exposed to within education system revealed the need of students for experience on mentation. Since social studies course brings up so many life-related topics into lessons, it is an issue of concern what influence the context of mentation training course will have on the skills in Social Studies course. Various mentation methods which are also used in Social Studies course will be analyzed in its effects on the Social Studies successes of students who are expected to acquire 24 mentation skills in the literature and the relation and similarities of the two lessons will be scrutinized in the extent of acquisition through interpreting the obtained results. In the study, true experimental method is used as an experimental method, and of the true experimental methods, “pretest – posttest control group design” is applied. For this purpose, experiment and control groups are created.

During the education phase, mentation training course is given for 12 weeks as 2 lessons per week in the class of experiment group students and in the class of control vii groups students mentation training course is not taught but 3 hours of social studies course is given as usual. SPSS 16 program will be used in the analysis of the quantitative data acquired from the students as a result of these practices. “Unrelated Samples T-Test” will be used in the determination whether there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest points of academic achievement test of the experiment and control group students. “Related Samples T-Test” will be used in order to analyze the change between pretest and posttest points within each group itself and the results will be expressed by tabulating.
