Abstract :

This research approach was mixed (qualitative, quantitative). In the qualitative part, inferential method (progressive) was  used .By using Franken's method of analysis (normative realist proposition), the basics of self-awareness were deduced. By using the semi-structured interview method, types of self-awareness and the nature and characteristics of the basic elements of the curriculum (purpose, content, teaching method and evaluation method) were extracted. The validity of qualitative data was determined using confirmability and reliability To analyze qualitative data, open, axial and selective coding method was used. In the quantitative section, the CVR method was used to determine the validity of the model. The results showed that the self-awareness basics include the connection between the soul and the body, evolution and exaltation of the soul, otherness, telescoping, thinking and self-awareness: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual. Curriculum elements including goals: improving physical knowledge, improving emotional behaviors, knowing others, improving spiritual knowledge, feelings, social communication, critical thinking. Method: questioning dialogue, role playing, small groups, brainstorming, problem solving. Evaluation: Self-evaluation, peer evaluation, and parent evaluation were concluded as essential elements of the self-awareness curriculum model in the second year of elementary school. Following these findings, the quality of the four elements was examined and approved by experts. As a result, effective paying attention to the self-awareness foundations, component, types and curriculum elements can help to improve the Second Level Primary School Students Self- awareness. The validity of the final model from the point of view of experts (philosophy of education, educational psychology and curriculum planning) was 0.82. Effective attention to the basics, components, types and nature of the elements of the self-awareness curriculum in the curriculum of the second year of elementary school can help to improve the self-awareness of students.
