| Summary: | Comparative education is important for recognising the education systems of different countries for bringing new practices into the education system and for ensuring educational equality among different societies. This study discusses the education systems of Turkey, Singapore and Kazakhstan. The science programmes of the three countries are compared in terms of their general objectives, processes and skills, content, measurement and evaluation approaches and learning outcomes. This is a comparative education research with a horizontal approach. The middle school science curriculum of the three countries was used as a data collection tool. As a method of analysis, document analysis was carried out. According to the results of the research, the programmes of all three countries are similar in terms of their general aims, processes and skills, but in contrast they have differences in measurement and evaluation approaches and learning approaches. |
