Comparative study of Iran and Japan chemistry curriculum in secondary school

In this study, the curriculum of chemistry in Iran and Japan was studied using comparative method and Beredy pattern. The following components of the curriculum (foundations and philosophy, goals, content, teaching-learning (training) and evaluation methods) were investigated. The results show that the components of Iranian chemistry curriculum are rich in content and purpose, and many similarities with the education system of the country have advances such as Japan, but are very different in the teaching method. In Iran, emphasis is placed on the teaching method of lectures, while empirical sciences such as chemistry are considered to be test-oriented sciences. Hence, these lessons should be taught along with practical work such as a simple test. Therefore, practical activity should become one of the essential pillars in the teaching of experiential sciences. Therefore, paying more attention to new ways of teaching and educating, promoting the curriculum of chemistry in Iran, and promoting the level of learning of learners in the field of experimental sciences such as chemistry.
