Türkiye’de Yabancı Dil Öğretimi Alanında Yapılan Ölçme-Değerlendirme Temalı Makaleler Üzerine Nitel Bir Çözümleme

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine, with regard
 to different variables, the articles written on the subject of assessment and
 evaluation in the field of foreign language teaching at higher education level
 in Turkey, by collecting them into a corpus. In this descriptive qualitative
 study based on the scanning model, a total of 64 articles published on the
 subject of assessment and evaluation were accessed from the database of the Yükseköğretim Akademik Arama (Higher
 Education Academic Search) (http://akademik.yok.gov.tr/AkademikArama/), by
 means of the purposeful sampling method. Utilising the document review
 technique, the articles were analysed by the content analysis method with
 regard to the variables “publication year”, “research type”, “data collection
 technique”, “subject” (theme) and “keywords”. The research findings reveal that
 the highest number of articles on assessment and evaluation in foreign language
 teaching were published in the last two years (2016-2017), that the articles
 concentrated mostly on the subjects of foreign language teaching programmes,
 the quality of assessment and evaluation tools in foreign language teaching,
 the changing syllabi in the field of foreign language teaching, and evaluation
 of the European Language Portfolio
 and of coursebooks, and that for these studies, the views of different study
 groups were consulted. Moreover, in this context, it was determined that with
 regard to method, the types of studies were mostly descriptive, while the
 research data were obtained by means of questionnaire, open-ended question, and
 interview techniques.
