Abstract
With the aim of investigating the values gained by using interactive notebook applications in social studies lessons for secondary school students, this study was completed as a case study from the qualitative research pattern including 21 students attending a state secondary school in İzmir province during the 2017-2018 educational year and using interactive social studies notebooks. The 21 students selected with the simple random sampling method underwent individual, face-to-face semi-structured interviews. The obtained data was analyzed with the MAXQDA 12 program for content analysis. The following conclusions were reached based on the obtained findings; during ISSN activities students helped each other more compared to normal educational activities and they conceptualized and developed the importance of helping. When students helped each other they felt happy, good, loved and that their friendships were strengthened. They developed their sense of sharing when everyone did the activity together and shared the material they needed. With sharing values, the students began to trust each other and developed a sense of trust. The value of responsibility also developed, though not as much as the other values. Students participating in the research enjoyed doing activities together and expression of this situation can be said to show they developed esthetic feelings. Within the framework of ISSN activities, students generally had positive criticism of the activities performed with friends, but some students had negative criticism. Students performing ISSN activities attempted to leave their surroundings or working area clean at the end of lessons. Students who forgot to clean were warned by other students.
