Analysis of North Macedonian Turkish Course Curriculum Objectives According to the Revised Bloom Taxonomy

This study aims to examine the achievements of the Turkish Language Curriculum for the second stage of primary education in North Macedonia according to the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. A qualitative research method was used in the study to determine the taxonomic distribution of the achievements of Turkish students living in North Macedonia in learning Turkish as their mother tongue. Data were collected from the Turkish Language Curricula for 4th, 5th, and 6th grades published by the North Macedonian Bureau for Development of Education. The research revealed that the Turkish Language Curriculum relies on factual and conceptual knowledge. However, it was found that metacognitive knowledge is not sufficiently included. In the cognitive process dimension, remembering and understanding were predominant, while applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating were less represented. The findings indicate that the Turkish Language Curriculum in North Macedonia needs to be updated and enriched. In conclusion, to provide students with a more comprehensive and in-depth learning experience, metacognitive knowledge and higher-level cognitive processes should be integrated into the curriculum.
