Objectives of the Course The main objective of this course is to enable students to explain the basic concepts of measurement and evaluation, to comprehend and apply the features that should be found in measurement tools, to make basic statistical analysis on test scores, to acquire knowledge and skills about traditional / alternative measurement techniques and their applications.
Course Content The place and importance of measurement and evaluation in education; basic concepts; types of evaluation by criterion and purpose; correlation; measurement errors; reliability and factors affecting reliability; validity, the validity-reliability relationship and usability; the test development process and types of tests; tests used in education; complementary assessment approaches; item and test statistics.
Course Methods and Techniques Special Situations:

Hasan Kalyoncu University offers equal educational opportunities to students with disabilities both in campus life and in education, training and assessment activities. The fact that you have a disability will not be a problem for you to follow this course. If there is something special that I need to know about you, you can contact your advisor or the head of your department to let me know. For example, if there is a difference in your eyesight, you can use a tape recorder in class. I will also take this into consideration when preparing my exams.

* Course Materials:

lim forgets, pen does not. I recommend you to take effective notes. From time to time, we may include presentations that I have prepared for you. I will definitely provide you with the handouts of these presentations. I suggest that you save the tests that we make for monitoring purposes, which consist of KPSS questions, in a file.

Participation

In class, you will see that I encourage active participation and that you can easily ask questions. I expect your participation as I know that you will do your weekly repetitions and readings.

Learning - Teaching Process:

In the teaching process, I usually lecture, but this does not mean that only the lecture method is used. I often use methods such as question and answer, case studies, brainstorming. In this context, I can actually say that I am the moderator of the course.
