Social Studies is a course that is intertwined with life. The
subject of Social Studies is people. It deals with and
examines people's lives. Social Studies enables the

perception of the secondary school students of the valuesbased education in the Social Studies program about Values
and Local History. The study was carried out with 130
secondary school students studying in central and village
secondary schools affiliated to the Ministry of National
Education in Kastamonu İnebolu district in the 2020-2021
academic year. Questionnaire form and document analysis
were used in our research. “Social and Cultural Values
Perception Questionnaire” was used as data collection tool.
A five-point Likert scale was used in the evaluation
questions. IBM SPSS Statistics Subscripton package program
was used for the analysis of the obtained data. When we
look at the findings obtained according to the results of the
research, it is seen that the students have partial knowledge
about the local history of the Inebolu district, but they are
not at the level to teach local history in the course dimension
