The aim of this study is to determine the level of pre-service teachers' perception of ethical principles in assessment. In addition, scenarios related to ethical principles in assessment created by Green et al. (2007) and revised by Fan et al. (2022) were introduced to the national literature. The study sample, in which survey design was used, consisted of 882 pre-service teachers. For the language validity of the scenarios, the relationship between the scores obtained from the English and Turkish forms was examined by calculating the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. As a result, it was determined that the pre-service teachers had views consistent with the assessment experts in most scenarios. While the pre-service teachers' agreement with the experts was relatively high in the categories of fairness/bias, communication about grading, grading practice, and confidentiality, their agreement was slightly lower in the categories of multiple assessment opportunities and test administration. On the other hand, in most of the scenarios, female pre-service teachers were more likely to agree with the experts than male pre-service teachers. In terms of grade level, the differentiation in the categories of fairness/bias, communication about grading, and grading practice is higher than the other categories.

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının ölçme ve değerlendirmede etik ilkeleri algılama düzeylerinin belirlenmesidir. Aynı zamanda araştırma kapsamında Green vd. (2007) tarafından oluşturulan ve Fan vd. (2022) tarafından yenilenen ölçme ve değerlendirmede etik ilkelerle ilgili senaryolar ulusal alanyazına kazandırılmıştır. Nicel araştırma desenlerinden tarama deseninin kullanıldığı araştırmanın örneklemini 882 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Senaryoların dil geçerliği için İngilizce ve Türkçe formlardan elde edilen puanlar arasındaki ilişki Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon Katsayısı hesaplanarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının senaryoların çoğunda ölçme ve değerlendirme uzmanlarıyla uyumlu görüşlere sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının adalet/ön yargı, değerlendirme sürecinde iletişim, not verme süreci ve gizlilik kategorilerinde uzmanlarla aynı düşüncede olma oranları nispeten yüksekken, çoklu değerlendirme fırsatları ile sınav yönetimi kategorilerinde aynı düşüncede olma oranları ise biraz daha düşüktür. Diğer taraftan senaryoların çoğunda kız öğretmen adaylarının uzmanlarla hemfikirde olma oranları erkek öğretmen adaylarından daha fazladır. Sınıf düzeyi açısından ise adalet/ön yargı, değerlendirme sürecinde iletişim ve not verme süreci kategorilerinde sınıf düzeylerindeki farklılaşma diğer kategorilere göre daha fazladır.

Anahtar Kelimeler
