Abstract:
The consequences of wars are not affecting only the humanity that existed in the period of war, but also the generations that lived afterward. These results are passed on to the students through history classes. Determining the change in students’ anxiety levels based on this is the main purpose of the research. The scale developed in the context of this goal is applied to 365 university students. The topics of war and war anxiety in history classes have been evaluated regarding gender, age, origin, the success of history lesson, family members participated in the war, and the idea of "war can come out any time”. While there is a significant difference between variables; gender, the success of history lesson, and the idea of "war can come out anytime," there is no significant difference in variables; age, origin, and having family members participated in the war.
