Abstract:

The aim of this research is to evaluate the 7th grade science skill-based questions published by the Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Turkey in the 2019-2020 academic year, according to the revised Bloom taxonomy. In this study, document analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The data of the research consists of 7th grade science skill-based questions published by the Ministry of National Education in the 2019-2020 academic year. In the study, 143 science questions were evaluated according to the revised Bloom taxonomy. Each of the aforementioned questions was examined separately and it was determined which levels they belong to in the "cognitive process" and "knowledge" dimensions of the revised Bloom Taxonomy. When the questions were evaluated according to the cognitive process dimension of the revised Bloom taxonomy, it was determined that the questions were stacked on the levels of understanding and application. When the questions were evaluated according to the knowledge dimension, it was determined that the questions were stacked on the levels of procedural knowledge and conceptual knowledge. While the majority of the questions (86.71%) are related to low-level skills, only 13.29% of them are related to high-level skills.
