Abstract

In this study, the Computer Science (CS) education in K-12 of the countries in the “Asia-Pacific region”, which are among the top 10 in PISA, and CS education of Türkiye were investigated. PISA is conducted to assess science, mathematics, and reading skills. PISA, which is carried out every 3 years by the OECD, evaluates 15-year-old students. When the countries that have been successful in PISA are examined, it has been observed that the number of countries in the “Asia-Pacific region” in the top 10 has increased in recent years. In this study, data analysis was done with document analysis, which included PISA results and reports, OECD reports, computer science curriculum of countries, and academic studies on PISA and computer science education. As a result of the data obtained, the countries’ CS education was compared to identify successful practices. Also, the countries’ practices in computer science education were compared to Türkiye, and implications were made about the effects of such works on PISA results.
