The comparrision of the avarage of students' succes in exams for transition to secondary education (SBS) and the placement exam for student success (ÖBSS)
Özet
The kinds of evaluation in education differ depending on the input, progress and output of the curriculum. The large-scale evaluation exams implemented in our country serve, in general, different aims as grading, electing, placing, holding accountable, observing and indicating status. In this paper, the datas of average exam success of the same students gained from the Placement Exams for transition to secondary education (SBS) implemented in the years 2008-2009-2010 by the Ministry of National Education and the Placement Exam for Student Success (ÖBSS) implemented by the abolished Research and Improvement Presidency (EARGED) of the Ministry of National Education are compared. The field successes in the datas of SBS and ÖBBS in the 2008-2009- 2010 are evaluated based on class and year and the trend is provided to be observed. As a result of the study, it is seen that there is a similarity between the SBS and ÖBBS in terms of ordering the student's academic success. This result shows that these two exams can be used interchangebly. Therefore, the opinion that removing the SBS, which is competition based and requires long-term exam preparation besides creating stress and pressure on the students, would be beneficial has gained strength. With the observation-aimed evaluations which can be done instead of SBS, it will be possible to have similar results and also do research to improve the process determining the underwhelming points of teaching efforts.
