Özet:

The present study, which is based on evaluating history education as one of the key tools to transmit ideology and values as well as to construct an identity, aims to put forth the relationship between the state and history education in the Ottoman Empire with particular emphasis to history education in the Ottoman primary and secondary schools in the late Tanzimat Era (1869-1876). The Maârif-i Umûmiyye Nizâmnâmesi (General Education Act of 1869) systematically institutionalized history teaching in all tiers of education by putting history courses into official curriculum. By the mentioned act, history education was systematically introduced to public education as a separate discipline. The initial aim of this study was to create a framework including the shape, scope, and application of history education from 1869 to 1876 by assembling bureaucratic and scholarly inspirations and expectations for introducing history teaching in public education as a separate discipline
