Many studies indicate that knowledge and knowledge production are the main predictors of social development, welfare and the ability to face the future with confidence. It could be argued that knowledge production is mainly carried out by universities. This study compares 1266 scientific research projects (SRPs) completed by faculties of education in Turkey, the Netherlands, Finland and UK. The results showed that most SRPs in education faculties in Turkey concerned learning and teaching processes and non-teaching fields, while those in education faculties of Finland, the Netherlands and UK were about educational administration. The results of this article emphasized the similarities and differences between SRPs in education faculties of Turkey, the Netherlands, Finland and UK.
