Moreover, some of the skills, personal qualifications and values in the program have features that can be related to future. Although there are a lot of direct reflections to future in the Science and Technology Teaching Program’s explanations, not enough reflections could be found in the elements of the program. There are reflections to future in the explanations of Mathematics teaching Program, but in the elements of the program no reflections to future could be observed. Conclusions and Recommendations: When the results related to programs are handled together, primary school programs are found to have enough reflection to future. When programs are considered; by nature Social Studies Teaching Program has the most reflections to future; Turkish, Science and Technology and Life Studies programs have enough reflections to future; however, Mathematics Teaching program has the least number of reflections to future among all the programs investigated. The following suggestions could be made according to the results of this study; 1) The reflections to future of the primary education programs should be determined by application-oriented studies. 2) How other programs applied in primary education reflect to future should also be investigated. 3) Studies concerning the effects of the reflections of primary education programs to future should be designed
