Abstract

Education can be considered as a matter of disciplines which must be congruent with their form. This articles tackles the matter of political science education in the West and Iran. There have been a lot of criticism of political science education in Iran and stressing that those matters are not congruent with the form of political science in Iran. It actually comes from the uncontextuality of the matter of political science in Iran and being extracted from the realities of the West. So, our question is that how the necessities of political science education in Iran and in the West have been formed? As comparison is one of the appropriate methods to understand the phenomena in Social and Human sciences methodology, we will compare the contents of political science education in Iran with the States, Germany, England, and Switzerland. It helps us to understand what basics have been present in the West and what have been absent in Iran.
