ANADOLU EFSANELERİNİN ON KÖK DEĞER AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ.

Values are the cultural elements that a society reveals, that creates and directs the society. In order for society to survive, it must be transmitted from generation to generation. Epic, fairy tale, folk tale, anecdote and legends, which we call folk narratives, are extremely important in providing this transfer. Because these narratives are narratives in oral, written and electronic media. Those who listen and read these narratives by accessing them from one of the specified environments will also have learned the values. Legends are texts created about the adventures of the occurrence of some formations that people saw around them in the period when science was not very developed and widespread. These texts convey the values education to future generations because of the cultural elements they contain. Legends have educational and value-added functions. Especially when they are examined in terms of value education, it will be seen that the legends are very rich and they are a type of folk narrative that can be used for value education. The main purpose of this study is to reveal this aspect of the legends, which are thought to be rich in values, and to determine that they can be used in values education. For this purpose, Saim Sakaoğlu's book 101 Anatolian Legends is based on ten core values (justice, friendship, honesty, self-control, patience, respect, love, responsibility, patriotism, benevolence) in the Turkish Language Curriculum published by the Ministry of National Education in 2019, will be examined and interpreted with the document review method, one of the qualitative research methods.
