A Comparative Analysis of Elementary Mathematics Teachers' Examination Questions And SBS Mathematics Questions According To Bloom's Taxonomy

This study has been planned for the purpose of comparative analysis of examination questions of elementary mathematics teachers and mathematics questions of Placement Examination (SBS) for 6th, 7th and 8th grades in 2010 in terms of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Document analysis method was used in this study. Accordingly, 715 examination questions mathematics teachers working in 12 different primary schools asked in 2009-2010 academic year and 54 mathematics questions for 6th, 7th and 8th grades in SBS in 2010 were examined and classified by a committee including 3 mathematics educators. As a result, it was seen that 6th, 7th and 8th grade examination questions and SBS questions were generally concentrated on lower cognitive levels (Knowledge, Understanding and Application).
