Okul Öncesi Eğitim Programının Değerlendirme Sorularının Kullanımına Yönelik Öğretmen Görüşleri

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of preschool teachers about the types of evaluation questions (descriptive questions, affective questions, questions on objectives, and questions associated with daily life) preferred by teachers during the preparation and application phases of teaching activities. Also, to determine whether or not there is any relation between the frequency of use of evaluation questions within education programs and training about the evaluation of young children. The sample of the study consisted of 323 preschool teachers. Data was gathered through the screening model. A questionnaire was used as the data collection tool and Chi-Square Test χ2 was employed in the data analysis. It was determined that preschool teachers prefer "descriptive questions" and "questions on objectives" more than "affective questions" and "questions associated with daily life." Teachers declared that they mostly preferred "questions on objectives" to enhance children's skills and to perform end-of-day assessments as well. Additionally, there was no significant difference found between the frequency of teachers' use of "questions associated with daily life" and having training/seminars on the evaluation of young children.
