Abstract
n this study, it was aimed to compare the attainments included in the Solutions Unit of the Secondary Education Chemistry Curriculum of Turkey and Ethiopia in terms of implications, expressions and emphasis similarities. Problem Solving and Descriptive approaches, which are used in comparative education fields, were used within the scope of this purpose. ln this study was used the screening model. Written sources, which are prepared by relevant persons and institutions, are benefited from in the collection of data. Document technique is benefited from as the data collection tool. Document analysis is used in the analysis of the data. These analyses are made in terms of emphasis, expression and implication. Reliability calculation was made as each attainment, which is compared in this respect, was controlled by 4 expert chemistry teachers, and the reliability percentage was found as 75%. It was determined that the attainments in the said programs are not similar in terms of emphasis and expression, but they are similar in terms of implication. That findings obtained in the light of these examinations can use by the program developers.
