The aim of this study is to reveal the knowledge about moral ethics and values education in social studies course. In this direction, this study was obtained by scanning books, articles, journals and electronic resources in the literature. Moral ethical values consist of moral good and bad judgments. These judgments are the subject of the ethical field where the philosophical dimension of morality is discussed. In this respect, ethics is a guide for education. Social studies course is important in terms of raising individuals with ethical values as much as knowledge. It is a course with content that contributes to the acquisition of basic knowledge, skills and values that prepare the individual for personal development, socialization and daily life. It integrates basic knowledge, skills and moral values compiled from different disciplines such as social studies, psychology, sociology, history, geography, citizenship, economics, philosophy, law and anthropology into the curriculum. In addition, the social studies course contributes to the students' participation in society, to discover their own qualities, to develop their personality traits, to communicate with the social and natural environment, with individual and collective content. However, achieving all these is directly related to the quality of the teacher. Because teachers are the implementers of educational programs in schools.
