VISUAL CULTURE AND COURSE CONTENTS:THE USE OF VISUAL MATERIALS IN GENDER EDUCATION

Visual culture is becoming more and more effective in our lives due to the development of mass communication technologies. Visual resources are increasingly used in the content of universitylevel courses, as they have a major contribution to keep a subject in mind. On the other hand, gender education has become an increasingly important issue. As a result of the rapid development of mass communication, the use of visual materials in gender courses also increased. In this context, it is possible to say that visual communication, gender and sociology meet in common. In this respect, it will be useful to examine the use of visual materials in gender education. This study searches the lecturers’ use of visual materials in gender education in university level courses. With this purpose, interviews were done with academicians providing education in the field of social sciences. In this study the tendency of academicians to use visual sources when teaching gender issues is searched. It is seen that academicians prefer to use visual sources when teaching gender. In the light of all these, after the examination of the importance of visual materials at university education, gender education and visual material relation will be examined in this study. Finally, results of the interviews will be analyzed.
