Who Tests What? Prospective ELT Teachers’ Conceptions and Suggestions on the New Distribution of the Topics and Subjects in the Subject Knowledge Test

Abstract

Starting from its first implementation, SKT has been investigated in various subject fields due to the emerging questions about its content and applicability in selecting prospective teachers. With the contribution of 355 participants including senior students and the graduates from different ELT undergraduate programs of the universities throughout Turkey, this study aimed to investigate the conceptions and suggestions of prospective ELT teachers on the new distribution of the subjects and topics in SKT in 2019. The data were collected by conducting an online survey and semi-structured interviews held with ten ELT prospective teachers. The study revealed that the new distribution of the subjects and topics in SKT was not satisfactory and relevant to select ELT prospective teachers who are competent and qualified in their fields due to substantial obliqueness in its content and administration process.
