Öğrenilen Bilgilerin Hatırlanmasında Sınavların Etkisi

Bu çalışmada sınavların öğrenilen bilgilerin hatırlanması üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Çalışma grubunu bir devlet üniversitesinin eğitim fakültesinde öğrenim gören 72 fen bilgisi öğretmeni adayı oluşturmaktadır. Öğretmen adaylarına “Enerji kaynakları ve çevre üzerindeki etkileri” ile ilgili bilgilerinin sorgulandığı bir soru formu ön test şeklinde uygulanmıştır. Forma verilen cevapların puanlanması sonucunda; üç deney, bir kontrol olmak üzere dört grup oluşturulmuştur. Ön test uygulamasından bir hafta sonra, deney grubunu oluşturan gruplardan birinci gruba çoktan seçmeli test, ikinci gruba doğru-yanlış testi, üçüncü gruba ise boşluk doldurma testi deneysel işlemler olarak uygulanmış kontrol grubuna ise herhangi bir işlem uygulanmamıştır. Deneysel sürecin bir hafta sonrasında ise aynı soru formu son test olarak tekrar uygulanmıştır. Uygulanan ön test ve son test sonucunda elde edilen puanlar istatistiksel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda öğrenilen bilgileri hatırlamasında sınavların etkili oldukları bulunmuştur. Ayrıca doğru-yanlış testlerinin çoktan seçmeli testlere göre daha fazla test etkisi oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Effects of Tests to Recall the Learned Information

In this study, effect of tests to recall the learned information was examined. Seventy-two pre-service science teachers studying at an education faculty of a university were the participants of this study. Three experimental and 1 control group were formed according to scores from a question form which was used as pre test. Experimental groups has received different types of tests e.g., multiple choice test MCT , true-false test TFT and filling the blanks test FBT while control group has received no test. After completing the experimental period, same form was applied as post-test. Findings of this study reveals that there was a significant difference between post test scores of experimental groups and control group. Therefore tests have an effect to help students to recall the learned information. Also, there was a significant difference between post test scores of FBT group and MCT group. Therefore different types of tests can cause different testing effects, FBT form more testing effect than MCT.
