LGS) ACCORDING TO THE REVISED BLOOM TAXONOMY AND OBJECTIVES OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS COURSE CURRICULUM

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the mathematics questions asked in the High School Entrance Exam (LGS) and the 8th grade objectives of the Primary Education Mathematics Course Curriculum, and to reveal at which level cognitive processes are measured through these questions according to the revised Bloom taxonomy. Within the scope of the study, 20 mathematics questions in the 2021 LGS and 52 8th grade objectives based on the formation of these questions were analyzed by document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods. The questions and achievements were classified independently by the researcher teacher and a field expert, and descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of the data. The data obtained showed that the 2021 LGS mathematics questions were operational and metacognitive according to the knowledge dimension of the revised Bloom taxonomy, while the 8th grade mathematics objectives based on the formation of these questions were factual, conceptual and operational. In addition, it was concluded that most of the 2021 LGS mathematics questions measured the cognitive processes in the application and analysis steps in the cognitive dimension of the revised Bloom taxonomy, while the 8th grade mathematics objectives focused on the understanding and application steps. It is recommended that the mathematics questions in the high school entrance exams and the mathematics course objectives should be reviewed according to the revised Bloom's taxonomy metacognitive dimensions
