In Turkey, after revisions in science and technology curricula in elementary education, the development of new secondary physics curricula has been finished very recently. These new curricula include some innovations in different aspects. On the other hand, Finland is one of the counties that present very successful results in PISA Science Scales. The main purpose of this study is to compare Turkish and Finnish Physics Curricula in terms of different aspects by using content analysis, observation in Finnish Schools and interview with teachers. As a result, some differences and similarities between these curricula are presented in the study.

Exploring the Quality of the Mathematical Tasks in the New Turkish Elementary School Mathematics Curriculum Guidebook the Case of Algebra
Ubuz, Behiye; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Çetinkaya, Bülent (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-01-01)
To take its due place in the world of education, Turkey has been through serious reform initiatives in the curriculums of various school subjects since 2003. The new Turkish elementary school curriculum was prepared considering the research studies conducted in Turkey and in other countries, as well as the educational systems of developed countries and previous experiences with mathematics education in Turkey. This study attempts to provide a perspective on the nature of the instructional tasks in the new e...
The pedagogy of argumentation in science education: science teachers' instructional practices
Yilmaz, Yasemin Ozdem; Çakıroğlu, Jale; ERTEPINAR, HAMİDE; ERDURAN, Sibel (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
Argumentation has been a prominent concern in science education research and a common goal in science curriculum in many countries over the past decade. With reference to this goal, policy documents burden responsibilities on science teachers, such as involving students in dialogues and being guides in students' spoken or written argumentation. Consequently, teachers' pedagogical practices regarding argumentation gain importance due to their impact on how they incorporate this practice into their classrooms...
A multiple case study: Turkish physics teachers’ teaching beliefs related to national high school physics curriculum
Kapucu, Serkan; Yıldırım, Ufuk (2013-01-01)
In the present Turkish High School Physics Curriculum (THSPC), it was explicitly stated that physics teachers should use various teaching methods and techniques such as 5E, 7E, cooperative learning, inquiry-based learning, and problem solving in their instructional practices. Although the use of multiple methods and techniques has been suggested by the national physics curriculum, it is probable that teachers do not teach by using various instructional methods and techniques. Some factors, especially their ...
An evaluation of needs, design, implementation, and outcomes of development and learning course enriched with critical thinking based instruction
Yücel, Banu; Ok, Ahmet; Department of Educational Sciences (2008)
This study aimed to evaluate the development process of Development and Learning course according to critical thinking based instruction in the Faculty of Commerce and Tourism Education at Gazi University by using Stufflebeam’s Context, Input, Process, and Product evaluation model. Data were collected from various sources through qualitative and quantitative methods such as questionnaires, individual and focus group interviews, student journals, achievement test, and California Critical Thinking Disposition...
AN INVESTIGATION OF ELEMENTARY STUDENTS' SCIENTIFIC LITERACY LEVELS
Ozdem, Yasemin; ÇAVAŞ, PINAR; ÇAVAŞ, BÜLENT; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Ertepınar, Hamide (2010-01-01)
Scientific literacy has become the major goal of science education in many countries as well as Turkey. In line with this goal, the purpose of this study is to investigate the scientific literacy level of elementary students in Turkey. In this study, the scientific literacy level of students is investigated through "Scientific Literacy Test" adapted by the researchers. The test was administered to 946 elementary students enrolled in 6(th), 7(th) and 8(th) grades in nine cities during the academic year of 20...
