Abstract

The aim of the study is to develop an achievement test that can be used to measure the achievement status of elementary school 4th grader students in terms of their fractions learning in mathematics courses. Examining the literature, it is visible that there are 8 development stages of the achievement test.. ITEMAN 3.5 package software was employed to analyze the validity and reliability of the test. Statistical analysis of the test reveals that KR-20 Internal Consistency and KR-21 Internal Consistency are 0.90. This value indicates that the consistency of the test is high. The average discrimination of the test is 0.80, which indicates that the test is highly distinctive among students. The average strength of the test has been calculated as 0.67. Therefore, it has been determined that the test should be both easy and distinctive when it comes to measuring the effectiveness of the teaching method. The result of the analysis suggest that when consistency and distinctiveness values are considered, the developed test is not only easy to use but also highly distinctive. Finally, it has been discovered that the academic achievement test for fraction teaching is valid and reliable.

Highlights

  • Education institutions are institutions that aim to provide students with goals and behaviors that the state considers appropriate

  • [44] For this purpose, we aim to develop the achievement test to determine the knowledge of students on the subject of fractions and to determine whether all achievements have been achieved at the end of the training

  • Many achievement tests have been developed in the literature to measure the achievement of students

Summary

Introduction

Education institutions are institutions that aim to provide students with goals and behaviors that the state considers appropriate. The purpose of education is to give an individual terminal behavior in schools, which is a well-known definition [25] For this reason, teachers are trying to provide students to obtain information by planning learning experiences and activities. Questions such as "How much students could achieve the objectives?" and "How much knowledge, skills and attitudes are brought to students?" are most important questions of the assessment [24] To perform these assessments, many methods are referred to. The achievement test measures the competence of an individual including knowledge and skills in a field or subject [27] By another definition, tools developed to measure how much an individual learns in an educational, instructional and learning environment are called achievement tests [57] With these tests, it is tried to determine the level of knowledge of students about a teaching subject
