Özet: The aim of this study is to examine the development process of the materials proposed to be used in the teaching of geography subjects in primary and secondary school social studies curriculums from the Republic to the present day. In the research, the document review method was used from qualitative research methods. The data obtained as a result of the literature review in the study was analyzed by descriptive analysis technique. Examination of the results of the research; in the 1924 first school program, the first program prepared after the proclamation of the Republic, it is seen that the materials proposed to be used in the geography course are few in number and limited in diversity, while the diversity of materials increases with the following programs. In 1968, the course, which was first taught under the name of social studies, appears to contain different materials such as a simple model of the solar system, unlike previous programs. While there was no significant change in material diversity from the 1971 primary school program to the 2005 primary school program, and classic materials were included, digital tools were included in the 2005 Social Studies course curriculum, as well as the impact of the advancement of technology. In addition to the addition of several materials in the 2018 Social Studies course curriculum, which is still teaching today, unlike the previous program, the variety of materials recommended in geography teaching programs appears to be decreasing. According to the results of the study, it is suggested that studies can be done to determine the state of use of tools in teaching geography subjects by examining the textbooks of the programs studied.
