The objective of this study is to determine the meanings attributedby candidate teachers and students on Dardanelles Wars through themetaphors they create. Starting from this point, the problem situationof the work was determined as “How is the state of metaphor creation ofcandidate teachers and students on Dardanelles Wars?”The sub-problems determined based on the problem situation areas follows:1- How is the level of metaphor creation of candidate teachers andstudents on “Dardanelles wars” in terms of the level of the class?2- Considering their mutual features, under which categories themetaphors of Candidate teachers and students on Dardanelles Wars aregather?Conceptual FrameworkMetaphor (simile), also defined as the art of using words outsidetheir actual meanings, is a literary art frequently used for strengtheningthe words, providing depth to words and expressing the states orsituations that sometimes cannot be expressed in many words in themost effective and brief way. http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecaz).According to Saban (2008), a metaphor is the structure that is formedby the expression that X is similar to Y in an explicit or implicit manner.By means of metaphors, the concepts of which meaning we are unableto make clear become easier to be understood by our mind throughconcrete expressions that have occurred or are likely to occur. This way,the metaphor used ensures understanding even if the concept does notmean anything (Soydaş; 2010). By means of metaphors, many abstractconcepts can be placed into schemas that have already been created inour minds more easily, and they help the facilitation and permanence oflearning. Metaphor has ranked among the instruction techniques usedin education for this purpose in recent years. Especially in subjectssuch as history that do not include many concrete materials andelements, traces of the past can be instructed more easily to studentsby means of metaphors. Furthermore, using positive metaphors to becreated, establishing a strong bond between the students and the pastcan be facilitated. With this study, it was endeavoured to reflect howuniversity students, who will become classroom teachers in primaryschools, social studies teachers in secondary schools and Historyteachers in high schools and who will teach this subject, perceive theDardanelles Wars as future teachers, while at the same time puttingforth how the Dardanelles Wars are perceived by students at basiceducation and secondary education level.
