Social Studies is a course in which branches of science such as history, geography, and many disciplines of social and humanities are taught integrated with civic skills. Social studies, on the one hand, aims to provide basic information about the disciplines of social sciences, on the other hand, to provide basic citizenship skills with an interdisciplinary understanding. In this study, social studies teaching programs in Estonia, a European country, and in our country, were compared with the dimensions of purpose, competencies, assessment and evaluation and content. Case study design, one of the qualitative research models, was used in the study. Social Studies course curriculums belonging to both countries were obtained from the websites of the Ministries of Education of these countries and analyzed. The documents obtained were analyzed by content analysis method. Although the social studies programs of both countries have similar aspects, it has been determined that there are also important differences between them. In the program of the two countries, priority has been given to elements such as constructivist understanding, individual development and giving priority to being a healthy member of the society. In the curriculum of the two countries, research, perception of change and continuity, self-control, perception of time and chronology, legal literacy, communication, effective use of mother tongue, problem solving, social participation and environmental literacy skills are common skills. Turkey is much more value in the social studies curriculum programs from Estonia. Social studies curriculum in our country is addressed with an interdisciplinary approach. The Estonian program is multidisciplinary and consists of social, personal and health development, civic knowledge and history disciplines.
