Özet: Abstract Known as the process of bringing the individual through his own experiences in the desired behaviors by the society, education is regarded by all countries as the fundamental tool for development. Accordingly, by taking the roles and responsibilities to be taken by the individuals in the future, countries put their education programs into action in order for the individuals to adapt to both the natural and social life. However, in the course of time education programs lose their functions due to such socio-cultural factors as "the society's viewpoint to information", "important facts and events", "social transformations", "paradigms" and they are no more able to meet the interest and need of the individuals. This situation brings about the fact that programs should continuously be developed and evaluated through scientific studies. In this paper, socio-cultural factors affecting curriculum development will be examined in detail depending on historical process.
