A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY EDUCATION SUBJECTS IN UZBEKISTAN AND TURKEY (A CASE STUDY OF MORAL EDUCATION AND MATHEMATICS)
Abstract
This scientific study presents a comparative pedagogical analysis of the primary education systems of Uzbekistan and Turkey, focusing on their organizational structures, state educational curricula, and subjects taught at the primary school level. The research examines the content, objectives, weekly lesson hours, textbook analysis, and teaching methods of mathematics and moral education subjects across grades 1–4 through practical examples. Based on an analysis of scientific literature, dissertations, and regulatory and legal documents, the study identifies both commonalities and methodological as well as content-related differences in the primary education systems of the two countries.
