Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de biçimlendirici değerlendirme ile ilgili yapılan lisansüstü tezlerin tematik açıdan incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden tematik içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 39 (27 yüksek lisans ve 12 doktora) onaylanmış lisansüstü tez çalışması oluşturmaktadır. Bu tezler 5 ana tema altında (öğretmen veya öğretmen adaylarının biçimlendirici değerlendirme becerilerini betimleyen çalışmalar, öğretmen veya öğretmen adaylarının biçimlendirici değerlendirme bileşenlerini geliştirmeyi planlayan çalışmalar, biçimlendirici değerlendirmenin öğrenci çıktıları üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen çalışmalar, biçimlendirici değerlendirme uygulamasını etkileyen faktörler üzerine yapılan çalışmalar, biçimlendirici değerlendirme konusunda yapılmış diğer çalışmalar) çeşitli değişkenler (tez türü, tez dili, tez yılı, tezin yürütüldüğü üniversite türü, bilim dalı, tezin çalışma grubu, tezin yöntemi, veri toplama araçları, verilerin analiz yöntemi) bakımından analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda biçimlendirici değerlendirme ile ilgili tezlerin 2009 yılından itibaren artış gösterdiği, çoğunluğunun dilinin Türkçe olduğu ve devlet üniversitelerinde yürütüldüğü belirlenmiştir. Tezler ana temalara göre incelendiğinde ise; biçimlendirici değerlendirmenin öğrenci çıktıları üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen çalışmalar ana temasına ait çalışmaların sayıca en fazla olduğu ve öğretmen veya öğretmen adaylarının biçimlendirici değerlendirme becerilerini betimleyen çalışmalar ve öğretmen veya öğretmen adaylarının biçimlendirici değerlendirme bileşenlerini geliştirmeyi planlayan çalışmalar ana temalarına ait çalışmaların sayıca en az olduğu görülmektedir. Çalışmalarda en fazla kullanılan yöntem karma yöntem olurken en az kullanılan yöntemin ise eylem araştırması olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmalarda veri toplama araçlarından en fazla görüşme ve ölçek kullanılırken veri analiz yöntemlerinden ise içerik analizi, betimsel analiz ve t-testi sıklıkla tercih edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda biçimlendirici değerlendirme konusunda yapılacak araştırmalarla ilgili araştırmacılara öneriler sunulmuştur.

Content Analysis of Postgraduate Theses on Formative Assessment and Education in Turkey

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to examine the postgraduate theses related to formative assessment in Turkey from a thematic point of view. Thematic content analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. The study group of the research consists of 39 (27 master's and 12 doctorate) approved postgraduate thesis studies. These theses are under 5 main themes (studies describing the formative assessment skills of teachers or pre-service teachers, studies that plan to develop the components of formative assessment of teachers or prospective teachers, studies that examine the effect of formative assessment on student outcomes, studies on factors affecting formative assessment practice, and studies on formative assessment) were analyzed in terms of various variables (thesis type, thesis language, thesis year, the type of university where the thesis was conducted, the branch of science, the study group of the thesis, the method of the thesis, data collection tools, data analysis method). As a result of the research, it has been determined that the theses related to formative assessment have increased since 2009, the language of the majority is Turkish and they are conducted in state universities. When the theses are examined according to the main themes; It is seen that the number of studies related to the main theme of studies examining the effect of formative assessment on student outcomes is the highest in number, and studies describing the formative assessment skills of teachers or prospective teachers and studies that plan to develop the formative assessment components of teachers or prospective teachers are the least in number. While the most used method in the studies was the mixed method, it was determined that the least used method was action research. While interviews and scales were used the most among data collection tools in the studies, content analysis, descriptive analysis and t-test were frequently preferred among data analysis methods. At the end of the study, suggestions were presented to the researchers about the researches on formative assessment.
