LITERATURE REVIEW
Basic Terminology:Assessment: Using a variety of procedures to gatherinformation about student performance. A processof determining whether students have learned whatthey were expected to learn from instruction. (Linn&Miller, 2013; Reeves, 2011)
Measurement: The process to gather numericaldata&numerical description of studentperformance. (Linn &Miller, 2013)
Aim of Assessment and Measurementin Education
1. Determine instructional objectives
2. Identify students’ readiness (students’ level, prerequisite skills)
3. Improve instruction
4. Assess intended learning outcomes (Linn & Miller, 2013)
Types of AssessmentProcedures
We can classify assessment procedures according to application/use in classroom:
1. Diagnostic
2. Formative
3. Summative (Reeves, 2011)
Types of Assessment Procedures
• In some sources this classification done as
1. Placement
2. Formative
3. Diagnostic
4. Summative (Linn & Miller, 2013)
Types of AssessmentProcedures
• Another classification is done accordingto format of assessment:
1. Fixed-choice assessment/Traditionalassessment
2. Performance-based/Alternative assessment (Linn & Miller, 2013)
Assessment in TurkishEducational System
• It is shown by research Gelbal&Kelecioğlu, (2007) that teachers favor traditionalassessment procedures in educational process.
• It is also indicated that they feel themselves comfortable with traditional procedures. (Gelbal&Kelecioğlu, 2007) ▪ Because of lack of frequent use in Turkish
education
▪ Because they do not know how to use, assessthese procedures
Assessment in Turkish EducationalSystem
• Research also revealed that teachers have adequate information on assessment procedures. (Gelbal&Kelecioğlu, 2007)
METHODOLOGY
• Questionairre: We applied ourquestionarre to 22 teachers from privateand public schools.
▪ There were 10 English, 3 Mathematics, 3 Social Sciences, 3 Turkish and 3 Science teachers in our survey.

RESULTS
1. What is your aim of assessment? (In this question teachers had chance to give multiple answers so including percentages of answers were not possible)– Giving grades to students(12/22)– Identifying students’ readiness (students’ level,
prerequisite skills) (13/22)– Monitoring students’ progress (16/22)– Giving feedback to students on their progress(19/22)– Diagnosing learning difficulties (8/22)– Identifying effectiveness of lecture (8/22)– Assessing /Improving educational methods and
approaches (14/22)– Other… (Please indicate)

– Project (3)
– Writing (5)
– Oral presentations (3)
– Performance tasks (2)
– Vocabulary (2)
– Nearly in all types of assesments (1)
DISCUSSION
In our research, we found that most of theteachers use and know:
• Placement,
• Formative,
• Summative,
• Performance-based assessment (Linn &Miller, 2013).
We found that teachers know and use differenttypes of assessment in both private and publicschools so our hypothesis is refuted by theresults.
DISCUSSION
• Most teachers use formative assessment at least once in a week.
• They probably do not know summative typeof assessment or the terminology becausethey specified frequency as once a week, once in a month and add pop quizes in thiscategory.
• Another interpretation of this result is thatthey may not have taken our questionairreserious.
DISCUSSION
• Teachers knowledge on performance-basedassessments is a surprising but promisingfinding for us.
• Most of the teachers use projects, presentations, and portfolios for performanceassessments.
DISCUSSION
● It is not surprising that most teachers do not know or use rubrics.
● As we expected, teachers use rubrics forprojects, writing activities, oral presentations since these types of assessment require rubrics to be able tomake objective scoring and assessment.
SUGGESTIONS
Teachers can be provided with ready-made assessment tools. (Gelbal&Kelecioğlu, 2007)
Teachers can be supported with in-service educations. Teachers should attend those educations.
Teachers should engage in learning newmethods and new approaches.
Administrators, students and parents should be informed about advantages and usage of new techniques and methods. (Gelbal&Kelecioğlu, 2007)
LIMITATIONS
This questionnaire can be applied to more teachers
from state and private schools.
We carried out our questionnaire to English
teachers mostly. It could be applied to more
teachers from different branches.
Teachers could have taken the questionnaire more
carefully.
