COMPARISON OF EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS IN TERMS OF SCIENCE TEACHER TRAINING: TÜRKİYE AND SLOVENIA

by ASLI ŞENSOY

Teachers’ training reflects the country’s socio-economic, political, and social circumstances. At the same time, how teachers are trained affects their professional skills, the teaching methods they use, and the learning success of students. Therefore, comparing teacher training systems in different countries provides essential insights into education at national and international levels. Comparative education studies help shape national policies and practices by learning from other education systems. While Slovenia has taken essential steps to comply with the education standards of the European Union, Türkiye has also attempted to comply with global education trends and increase the quality of education. Although Slovenia and Türkiye differ in their geographical locations, cultural structures, and history, both countries are trying to develop their education systems and improve teacher training processes. Comparative examination of teacher training systems will positively improve the teacher training process. Therefore, this study provides a framework for comparing teacher training systems between Türkiye and Slovenia.
