Türkiye, Kanada ve Singapur Matematik Öğretim Programlarının Geometri ve Ölçme Öğrenme Alanının Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the geometry and measurement learning domains at the secondary school level in Mathematics Curriculum (MAC) of Turkey, Canada and Singapore to reveal similarities and differences. This study is structured as content analysis from qualitative research procedures. In this study, data was collected by document review from qualitative data collection methods. Documents MAC are available on the official web pages of the relevant countries. The obtained documents were translated into Turkish by the researcher and opinions were received from three experts. Data in the study was compared by using the descriptive analysis from qualitative data analysis methods. As regards the findings, although there are differences in names in the sub-learning domains of MAC, it has been determined that an important part of their content is similar to each other. It was deduced that concepts were described in MAC of Turkey, while relationships between concepts were emphasized in MAC of Canada (Ontario) and Singapore contents. Depending on this result, it can be said that there are less transitions of grade and relations between geometric concepts related to the geometry and measurement learning domain at the secondary school level in MAC of Turkey. It’s thought that the findings obtained can be important in terms of developing the geometry and measurement learning domain at the secondary school level in MAC of Turkey.
