Abstract
Although earthquake phenomena concerns all levels of society, explaining this phenomena to primary school students well is highly important in terms of creating a society prepared for disasters. In addition, relevant studies show that the group who is affected by earthquakes worst is primary school students. It is observed that earthquakes affect some children in this age groupa not only physically but also emotionally and pschologically more. In the aftermath of an earthquake some children experience bedwetting at night, sleep disorder, behavioral problems, obesity, suicidality and decline in literacy skill levels. Plus, when it is considered that the fastest and the most permanent learning occurs in primary school ages, giving earthquake education and awareness appropriate to these children's ages will enable the society to be more prepared for other possible earthquakes in the future. In the light of this information, this study aims to discuss how earthquake education is given to primary school students, what kind of actions are taken and how students perceive them.
