Abstract

The research examines the values portrayed in Keloğlan tales at the primary education level. The methodology used in this research includes a literature review, explicitly studying children's literature, fairy tales, and values education. A basic qualitative research design and the document analysis method were employed in the application part of the research. In this study, 19 fairy tales from Tahir Alangu's book called Keloğlan Tales (2020) were individually analyzed. The research aimed to determine whether these tales embody values such as justice, friendship, honesty, self-control, patience, respect, love, responsibility, patriotism, and benevolence. These values are included in the "Attitudes and Behaviors Related to Values and Values in the Renewed Curriculum" of the Ministry of National Education, Board of Education. The researcher created a table index to record and categorized the values found in the tales, as well as negative statements and messages present in the content of the tales. Based on the data obtained in the research, it was found that Tahir Alangu's book Keloğlan Tales contains 71 values and 67 negative messages and expressions. Despite including some of the "Values in the Renewed Curriculum," it was concluded that the book needs to be organized in terms of education, teaching, and value transmission through fairy tales. The book contains many negative statements, contradictory messages, and elements. The research suggests that the book should be removed from primary school libraries, revised to eliminate harmful elements, and rearranged accordingly.
