Analysis of 5th Grade Science Learning Outcomes and Exam Questions According to Revised Bloom Taxonomy

Abstract

In this study, the relationship between the levels of 5th grade science course exam questions and the 5th class learning outcomes of the science curriculum in the revised Bloom taxonomy was examined. The research was carried out using document analysis method. Since the revised Bloom taxonomy categories were used for the analysis, the data obtained were analyzed with the descriptive analysis technique. The study included 967 science questions and 40 learning outcomes in the 2017-2018 academic year. These questions and learning outcomes were analyzed. At the end of analysis, the relationship between the learning outcomes and exam questions was determined. The inter-rater reliability computing has been made in the analysis of questions-learning outcomes. The reliability co-efficient was calculated .81 for learning outcomes and .77 for questions, indicating an acceptable reliability. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the most learning outcomes were in the conceptual knowledge dimension and the most questions were included in the factual knowledge dimension. In the cognitive processes dimension, it was determined that most learning outcomes are at the level of understanding, and the most questions are at the level of remembering. It is understood that 37% of the exam questions are at the level of learning outcomes. In addition, it was determined that there were no questions about some learning outcomes (24%).

The effectiveness of video-based interaction on professional science teachers to improve elementary school students achievements

“…The average pretest and posttest from remembering to analyzing tend to decrease. These results are following the cognitive level in Bloom's taxonomy (Zorluoglu & Güven, 2020). This study reviewed cognitive ability levels in the form of remembering, understanding, implementing, and analyzing.…”

A Theoretical Framework to Study Conceptual Understanding and Earthquake Readiness Among School Students at Ranau, Sabah

“…Bloom's taxonomy is a student's thinking or cognitive level that is referred to in order to produce an appropriate and effective assessment. The level of students' thinking skills needs to be tested to get a result to ensure that the learning plan that is compiled can be evaluated and carried out better (Huitt, 2011;Zorluoglu & Güven, 2020). However, Anderson and Krathwohl have revised Bloom's taxonomy to fit modern educational objectives that are more focused on outcomes, including changing the names of the levels from nouns to active verbs, and reversing the order of the top two levels (Huitt, 2011).…”

Hubungan Kegiatan Literasi Sekolah Dan Motivasi Belajar Melalui Mediasi Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Dengan Prestasi Belajar Matematika Siswa Pendidikan Dasar

“…Keberhasilan belajar siswa digambarkan dengan prestasi belajar siswa itu sendiri (Lintuman et al, 2020). Pretasi belajar siswa ini salah satunya dapat dilihat dari sisi ranah kognitif yang berpatokan pada taksonomi Bloom revisi David R. Krathwohl yaitu tingkat mengingat, memahami, menerapkan, menganalisis, mengevaluasi dan mencipta (Qasrawi & Beniabdelrahman, 2020;Zorluoğlu & Güven, 2020).…”
