Özet

In recent years, Turkey and Portugal are two countries which have actively taken part in renewal process of education. The purpose of this study was to examine the Portuguese and the Turkish Education Systems and science curricula. The comparative research and documentary analysis were followed for the data. Moreover, a fourteen year process was examined with respect to the results of certain international studies in education. The differences mostly appeared at structures, while general aims and principles resembled each other. Despite the fact that the science curricula constructions are based on contemporary approaches in both countries, it's seen that science achievements remained under international average.
