Abstract

The responsibilities of instilling the national, spiritual, cultural, and moral values into the new generation in the Turkish education system have been mostly given to the DKAB courses. From this point of view, it can be said that it has a vital importance. That it is protected by the 1982 Constitution and be a compulsory course can be considered as a demonstration of the importance given to it. The question "what is the interest and participation of the students to the DKAB course that is very important theoretically and takes on vital responsibilities?" should be asked here. In order to find an answer to this question, qualitative research method was used and interviews were made with 10 DKAB course teachers, and 10 selected students from 11thdegree of each school in five different high schools with different success levels. The research was conducted in a region where national and spiritual values are relatively high. The result of this study is that the interest and participation of the students in the DKAB courses are low in all the schools. Not bringing textbooks to school, and drowsing on school desk by putting head are habits encountered frequently. In addition, according to both teachers and students, the interest in DKAB is low. The biggest factor in this is the idea "we already know". Moreover, to devote more time to courses that are weighted in the university entrance examination, to think that the religion course can be passed easily, and to consider it as a course of rest seems to be significant reasons of the indifference. However, because of the thought, belief, attitude, and values it contains, there is no indifference in religion.
