Abstract
This study has been carried out with the aim of evaluating the Curriculum of Elementary School Third Grade Science Course, which has been implemented for the first time in the academic year of 2014-2015, based on the views of teachers. The general screening model has been employed in the study. This research has been conducted with the participation of 36 classroom teachers, who have been determined via maximum variety sampling method from schools that are classified as high level, medium level, and low level in terms of their success. These semi-structured interviews have been audio-recorded with the permission of the teachers. Content analysis has been used in order to analyze the data, The results of the study suggest that the teachers in all three school levels have positive views on the curriculum. According to the teachers, the fact that the curriculum does not offer any activity examples on the teaching-learning process and students' workbook are what the curriculum lacks.
Highlights
Today, there is a scientific and technological competition among countries
The countries that are aware of this situation consider science courses as the address to be placed near the top in this competition
The countries wishing to take the lead in scientific and technological competition know that effective science education can only be achieved through well-prepared curricula
Summary
The countries that are aware of this situation consider science courses as the address to be placed near the top in this competition. They review science education in schools and make radical innovations in science programs (Çepni & Çil, 2013). The countries wishing to take the lead in scientific and technological competition know that effective science education can only be achieved through well-prepared curricula. One of the most important indicators of an effective science education is the training of science literate individuals. It is an irrefutable fact that the individuals who have these characteristics and who are science literate can find a place near the top in the science and technology race thanks to these qualities
