Descriptive statistics was used for analyzing of quantitative data; in the analysis of qualitative data, content analysis was used.It was found that the PISA questions directed the students to interpret in general, the TEOG questions were based on knowledge and memorization, the TEOG questions were prepared away from the life of the children, the students did not assume responsibility and they did not provide effective participation and daily life. It was concluded that TEOG questions were not prepared for the needs and problems of the society and daily life, and that the student should be handled physically, mentally, psychologically and socially as a whole, and that it was not in accordance with the principle of Integrity, which included the

necessity of a unity between the subjects.Instead of knowledge-based questions, questions that encourage

students to interpret, require scientific process skills, creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and appropriate

to the geographical and daily life of the childeren, the time they live, the needs of society and daily life should

be used. The questions should be handled as a whole in terms of physical, mental, psychological and social

aspects of the student and there should be an integrity between the subjects.
