Geography coursebook Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy question types assessment tools
The
present study aimed to evaluate question types used in high school geography
coursebooks in Turkey
and analyze them based on the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. Two forms were prepared
in order to analyze the data. A total of 1940 questions were analyzed in this
study. Descriptive statistics (percentages/ frequencies) were utilized in the
analysis of the data. The results indicated that “open-ended questions” and
“matching questions”, among traditional assessment tools, were the most
frequently used type of questions across the four coursebooks. Additionally,
the analyses suggested that “open-ended” and “multiple-choice” questions have
been mainly used at the “understanding” level of cognitive process dimension
across all coursebooks. On the other hand, it was found that matching questions
were predominantly used at the “application” level in the 9th grade
coursebook, “remembering” level in the 10th and 11th grade
coursebooks, and “understanding” level in the 12th grade book. The
check lists included in the coursebooks were mainly at the application level.
“Gap filling” questions were found to have predominantly been used at the
“understanding" level in the 9th grade coursebook and
“remembering” level in the 10th, 11th, and 12th
grade coursebooks. As for the knowledge dimension analysis, it was found that
the open-ended and multiple-choice questions were mainly used at the
“conceptual knowledge” level across the four coursebooks. Matching questions
were generally used at the “conceptual knowledge” level in the 9th
and 12th grade coursebooks, and at the “factual knowledge” level in
the 10th and 11th grade coursebooks. Checklist used in the 11th
grade coursebook were at the “procedural knowledge” level, and “conceptual
knowledge” level in the 10th and 12th grade coursebooks.
In the light of these results, it is understood that questions within the
geography coursebooks (9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th
grades) were commonly used at the “understanding and remembering” levels within
the cognitive process dimension, and at the “conceptual and factual knowledge”
levels within the knowledge dimension.
