Özet

This study aimed to determine how the philosophy for children (P4C) practices integrated into the 2nd grade Turkish course within the scope of distance education in the Covid-19 were carried out, the problems encountered and solutions to the problems, and teacher/student opinions. This research designed as a holistic single case study in the case study model, one of the qualitative research methods, was conducted in a primary school in the 2020-2021 academic year. Participants were determined by criterion sampling from purposeful sampling methods. Data was collected from 13 students and the classroom teacher. The research data were collected through the diaries of the researcher/teacher, video recordings, participant and systematic observations, semi-structured interviews with the participants, and student products. The data were analysed through descriptive analysis. As a result of research, it was seen that the implementation was carried out in six stages: attention gathering, stimulus presentation, determination of the main question to be discussed, questioning group, evaluation and reinforcement activities. Problems related to distance education, language skills, P4C and other fields were identified during the applications. Solution suggestions for the problems were presented and student/teacher opinions were shared. It is suggested that P4C should be studied with different disciplines.
