Comparison of Physics Concepts in Primary School Science Books Prepared According to 2013 and 2018 Curriculum; Investigation of the Compatibility of the Data with the High School Entrance Exam Questions and the Curriculum of the Faculty of Education

Abstract

Science and science education has been an important phenomenon in human history in every age. It is seen that every developed nation throughout history gave importance to science and its education. While these science curriculum changes are an inevitable necessity in the evolutionary process of education, frequent and superficial changes cause some problems. The aim of this study is to compare 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade science textbooks prepared according to 2013 and 2018 science education curriculums in terms of physics concepts and to investigate the compatibility of the change with today's conditions and central exams. It is to examine the compatibility of these changes with the science education curriculum, which came into force in 2018 and implemented in education faculties. It was determined that the number of physics concepts in 5th, 6th, and 7th-grade science books prepared according to the 2018 science curriculum decreased by 67.46%, 14.53%, and 6.14%, respectively. The number of physics concepts at the 8th-grade physics level has increased by 64.66%. These changes are compatible with the questions asked in high school transition exams. A serious incompatibility can be seen between the sciences teaching curriculum applied at the education faculties with the 2018 science curriculum.
