Abstract

Social Sciences and Educational Sciences and the Sociology of Education Being a science and self-acceptance process of social sciences reveals an important and interesting adventure. Social sciences have been out of history for a very long time because of some external problems including scientifi c method problem. Entering to the literature and developing themselves as independent disciplines of social sciences were delayed. This situation was the major cause of being late for social sciences against natural sciences both in academic and scientifi c sense. Turkish history science also testifi es the diffi culties of social sciences –with its own experience-parallel to the story. This pre-republic experience both in adoption and defi nition also encouraging and supporting stages of things set out in the name of science put forward the natural sciences. However, it cannot be said that the political academic and scientifi c environments have issued correct results from this story of science history.
