Once the 2017 curriculum change took place, adaptation of the new area's requirements was aimed.

We see that values education was also considered as an important part of the curriculum.

However, once the 2017 curriculum changes are analysed, it can be clearly said that the new changes are lack of enough details.

How the values education and key competencies will be implemented in classroom and how they will be measured are quite controversial issues. These things could have better explained by the new curriculum changes.

Lastly, I can say that I understand the basics of 2017 curriculum changes and its problematic sides. The resources that were given by the teacher was quite enough to instruct the topic. There is not any topics that I cannot understand.
