Abstract

In today's age of technology, international organizations have become an indispensable element for all states by increasing their importance in the international system. States become members of international organizations for various purposes such as the continuation of their own systems and the establishment of relations with other states and to find solutions to existing common problems. For this reason, there are many international organizations of which every state is a member. In our country, the definitions and aims of international organizations are discussed in Social Studies textbooks by associating them with 'achievements'.
 In this study, it is aimed to analyze the way in which international organizations in the Social Studies textbooks at the primary and secondary school level are handled, with which subjects they are associated and what kind of examples are given about these organizations. In this study, in which the qualitative research method was adopted, the document analysis method was used. Based on the data obtained, it has been seen that the textbooks include various newspaper news prepared for the purpose of providing information about international organizations, reading texts in which the reports published on the work of international organizations are subject, and supporting questions about them. It has been concluded that international organizations are mostly included in the "Global Connections" section, which is the last learning area of ​​the textbooks, and UNESCO, which is affiliated to the United Nations, is the most discussed among these organizations.
