Twelve history teachers working in the central districts of Van participated in the study carried out in 2018. The data were collected with semi-structured interviews and analysed with content analysis. It was concluded in the study that the teachers did not receive a sufficient level of training regarding the renewed history curriculum. In addition, it was found that most teachers considered themselves competent in implementing the history curriculum. They expressed satisfaction with the relevant program and had diverse opinions regarding the alignment of curriculum outcomes, objectives, and activities with the coursebooks. Furthermore, it was determined that history teachers presented the similarities and differences between the curriculum renewed in 2007 and subsequent years and the 2018 history curriculum (objectives, outcomes, activities, content, assessment, etc.). They also expressed their views on potential challenges that may arise during the implementation of the program and suggested solutions to address these issues.
