EVALUATION OF THE QUESTIONS PREPARED BY TURKISH LANGUAGE TEACHER CANDIDATES ACCORDING TO THE REVISED BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the questions prepared by Turkish language teacher candidates related to the texts from different literary genres in terms of the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. In the study, document review method was used. The study sample included the fourth-grade students of Turkish Language teaching department under the Faculty of Education of Karadeniz Technical University. The sample group was given three texts from different genres and asked to prepare questions related to them. 34,6% of the questions were prepared at the remembering level, 45,9% at the understanding level, 3,2% at the applying level, 1,3% at the analysing level, 10,4% at the evaluating level and 4,5% at the creating level. It was determined that teacher candidates prepared more questions at the remembering and understanding levels. It was seen that in the dimension of knowledge the questions directed to factual and conceptual information predominated. It was determined that teacher candidates were not able to prepare questions that could develop the higher order thinking skills of the students.
