مقارنة بين تصميم المناهج الدراسية وتطبيقها في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية واليابان وسنغافورة والعراق

Abstract

This research provides a comparative study of the educational systems in the United States, Japan, Singapore, and Iraq, focusing on four key dimensions:

·      educational goals

·      curriculum content

·      teaching practices

·      assessment methods

Adopting a descriptive-analytical approach, the study identifies patterns of similarity and difference across these systems. While all four countries emphasize fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, they differ considerably in terms of curriculum depth, integration of technological tools, and evaluation strategies.

·      Japan and Singapore prioritize collaborative learning and continuous assessment

·      Iraq predominantly relies on traditional exam-focused approaches. Drawing on these findings

the study recommends adopting adaptive measures inspired by international best practices to improve curriculum design, enhance instructional methodologies, and develop higher-order cognitive skills, aligning national education more closely with global standards.
