This research aims to compare the Turkish secondary school mathematics curriculum and the Ontario secondary school mathematics curriculum. For this purpose, while examining the secondary school mathematics curriculum of both countries in this study, educational philosophies, objectives, content, educational situations and assessment and evaluation systems, which are the basic elements of the curriculum, as well as textbooks, program management, monitoring and evaluation processes were taken as the basis. Document analysis, one of the descriptive research techniques, was used in the research. The economic, social and cultural structures of education and society are not independent of each other. Curriculums in Turkey and Ontario have also been shaped depending on these structures. As a result of the research, it has been revealed with examples that there are some similarities as well as differences in the mathematics curriculum of Ontario and Turkey. In this sense, it has been determined that Canada's being a multinational country necessitates locality in education, on the other hand, a central, national education system is implemented in Turkey, and there are serious differences between Turkey and Canada, especially in terms of measurement and evaluation processes of the mathematics curriculum. The positive results of the province of Ontario, which was preferred in the study, in the PISA exams were examined in terms of the curricula of both countries. It has been found that the main reason for this difference is the differences in the implementation processes of the curricula. According to the results of the research, it is necessary to increase the number of studies that will increase the qualifications of teachers in Turkey and expand the place of technology, which is an indispensable part of today's education, in mathematics education programs.
In this study comparing the Turkish secondary school mathematics curriculum and the Canada-Ontario secondary school mathematics curriculum, the educational philosophies, goals, content, educational processes, and assessment systems, which are basic elements of the curriculum, were taken as the basis. The research method used in the study is document analysis, one of the descriptive research techniques. The economic, social, and cultural structures of education and society are not independent of each other. Curricula in Turkey and Ontario have also been shaped depending on these structures. As a result of the research, it has been understood that there are some similarities as well as differences in the curricula of Ontario and Turkey. In this sense, the fact that Canada is a multinational country has necessitated locality in education. On the other hand, a national system is implemented in Turkey. In addition, it is noteworthy that there are serious differences between the mathematics curriculum, especially the assessment processes, between Turkey and Ontario. One of the reasons why Canada’s Ontario province is preferred in the study is the positive results of Ontario in Pisa exams. It is understood that the main reason for this difference is the differences in the implementation processes of the curricula. According to the results of the research, it is necessary to increase the number of studies that will increase the qualifications of teachers in Turkey and strengthen and expand the place of technology in education, which is an indispensable part of today’s education.
Bu araştırmanın amacı Türkiye ortaöğretim matematik dersi öğretim programı ve Ontario ortaöğretim matematik dersi öğretim programının karşılaştırılmasıdır. Bu amaçla çalışmada her iki ülkenin ortaöğretim matematik dersi öğretim programları incelenirken, öğretim programlarının temel unsurları olan eğitim felsefeleri, hedef, içerik, eğitim durumları ve ölçme değerlendirme sistemleri ile ders kitapları ile program yönetme, izleme ve değerlendirme süreçleri temel alınmıştır. Araştırmada betimsel araştırma tekniklerinden doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Eğitim ve toplumun içinde bulunduğu ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel yapı birbirinden bağımsız değildir. Türkiye ve Ontario öğretim programları da bu yapılara bağlı olarak şekillenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda Ontario ve Türkiye’nin matematik öğretim programlarında bir takım benzerlikler olduğu kadar farklılıkların da bulunduğu örneklerle ortaya konmuştur. Bu anlamda Kanada’nın çok uluslu bir ülke olması eğitimde yerelliği gerekli kıldığı buna karşılık, Türkiye’de merkezi, milli bir eğitim sistemi uygulandığı, Türkiye ve Kanada arasında matematik dersi öğretim programlarının özellikle ölçme ve değerlendirme süreçleri açısından ciddi anlamda farklılıklar olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada tercih edilen Ontario eyaletinin PISA sınavlarında aldığı olumlu sonuçlar her iki ülkenin öğretim programları açısından da incelenmiştir. Bu farkı oluşturan başlıca nedenin öğretim programlarının uygulanma süreçlerindeki farklılıklar olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma sonucuna göre Türkiye’de öğretmen niteliklerini yükseltecek çalışmaların artırılması ve eğitimde günümüzün vazgeçilmez parçası olan teknolojinin matematik öğretim programlarındaki yerinin genişletilmesi gerekmektedir.
