Abstract:

In this study, it was aimed to determine how the skills in the Geography Curriculum (CDÖP) are included in the geography questions in the university entrance exams. Due to the fact that geographical skills are included in the CDÖP together with the 2005 program, university exam questions between 2005-2020 constitute the sample of the research. In the study using the document review model, the data were examined by content analysis. The geography questions from the university entrance exams were found on the website of the Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ASPC). The geography questions in the exams were examined one by one by the researchers and it was determined which skill or skills they were associated with. 583 geography questions were evaluated in the study, where reliability was provided by expert opinions. As a result of the evaluation, it was observed that the questions measured the most geographical observation and map skills. In addition, it has been found that there are very few questions that measure time perception, evidence use, and change and continuity perception skills, and there are no questions that measure land skill. It was also noted that the questions did not measure geographical skills equally, nor were they equally distributed according to the learning area or units included in the curriculum. As a result of the results, it was emphasized that the geography questions that appeared in the university exam should be prepared in accordance with the skills in the curriculum.
