It is a fact that in every period of history, in countries where education flourished, scienceflourished, too; in countries where science flourished, education also flourished.

For this reason, children’s interest and curiosity for scienceshould be enhanced in order to be a pioneer of science in Turkish and Islamic world. To achievethis goal, scientists who can be role models and the scientific researches they contributed toshould be included in the textbooks. The purpose of this study is to reveal how and how muchthese scientists are included in social sciences courses.
