Abstract
"The purpose of this study is to examine and compare geography attainment targets in the 6th and 7th grade Social Studies Curriculum according to the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. Document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The 6th and 7th grade geography attainment targets of the 2018 Social Studies Curriculum were analysed using a descriptive analysis technique. Twenty-two attainment targets for geography in the Social Studies Curriculum were examined using the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. It has been concluded that geography attainment targets in the Social Studies Curriculum of Turkey are generally at the lower level of thinking or cognition. This study reveals that metacognitive levels are not reflected for geography in the Turkish Social Sciences curriculum. Paying attention to these metacognitive criteria during curriculum updates may contribute to the development of high-level cognitive skills for students. In this way, teachers can focus on higher-level critical thinking skills in geography in secondary schools."
