In the study, where document analysis was used, two samples were selected from the 5th and 6th grade Turkish textbooks which were in effect in the academic year of 2017-2018 and 40 fictional texts in these samples were examined. The fictional texts were descriptively analyzed in the focus of "child" using NVIVO 11 program and the content analysis was performed on the new data set following descriptive analysis. Following the content analysis, the characteristics of the child characters were classified under two categories as "positive" and "negative". The results of the study suggest that child characters are depicted with more positive features than negative traits. In addition, the children's characters that are in the foreground with their moral characteristics are not presented with a discourse on wisdom and work; children were not blamed for their negative acts (either consciously or unconsciously) it was uncertain whether some of the children characters' behaviors were positive or negative.Yasin Mahmut YAKAROğuzhan YILMAZFırat Universityarticlechildren’s literaturecharacter trainingfictional textpositive and negative characterSocial SciencesHSocial sciences (General)H1-99DEENFRTRJournal of Academic Social Science Studies , Vol 11, Iss 69, Pp 49-64 (2019)
