A Review of Achievement Test Development in Türkiye Regarding the Achievement Test Development Process

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine to what extent the articles titled achievement test development, published between 2020-2023, meet the steps that should be followed during the achievement test development process. The research is a document review study within the scope of qualitative research. In determining the studies to be included in the research, consideration was given to the fact that the aim and title of the research included '...developing an achievement test', that the full text of the article was accessible, and that the research language was Turkish, and a total of 40 articles were included in the research. In the study, a coding list was created and used by the researcher, based on Turgut and Baykul's (2012) achievement test development steps. Data analysis of the research was carried out using the categorical analysis method, one of the types of content analysis. In the articles examined within the scope of the research, it is seen that there are deficiencies in almost all stages of the achievement test development process, starting from presenting the test plan based on the test plan to including the items to be included in the final test form. In line with the research results, it may be suggested that the achievement test development steps in the literature be taken into consideration in studies.
