The measurement tool was a researcher-made content analysis checklist, whose validity was confirmed by experts and experts, and its reliability was calculated as 93% with the re-measurement method. The data processing method was based on the Shannon entropy method. The research findings indicate that in the second year high school textbooks in the humanities field, attention was paid to technological literacy areas a total of 152 times. In this academic year, more attention has been paid to the areas of "Cultural Literacy of Technology" with a frequency of 48 (31.6%), "History of Technology" with a frequency of 41 (27%), and less attention has been paid to the areas of "Critical Literacy of Technology" with a frequency of 26 (17.1%), "Ethics of Technology" with a frequency of 21 (13.8%), and "Futurology of Technology" with a frequency of 16 (10.5%).
