Investigation of Life Science, Social Studies, and Geography Curriculum Attainments in Terms of Disaster Education

One of the most effective measures that can be taken against disasters is to educate individuals about disaster. To achieve this, disaster education is included in the curriculum of every education level in our country as well as in the world. In the study, it is aimed to examine the life studies, social studies, and geography courses, which have intense human and environmental interaction, in terms of disaster education. In the study, document analysis was used as a method. As a result of the study, it was found that the most achievements for disaster education among the examined curricula were included in the geography course curriculum. In education programs, disaster information and disaster process themes are included. This situation shows that there is a spiral structure in terms of these two themes in disaster education among the three curricula. It has been determined that there are differences in the contents of the codes determined in the curriculum. In the curricula, the acquisitions for the cognitive domain are mostly included. It has been found that the cognitive domain is included at higher levels as the grade levels increase in the acquisitions including disaster education.
