Opinions of Preservice Science Teachers About Question Types in Biology Exams

Summary/Abstract: This study was carried out to determine the opinions of preservice science teachers about the types of questions used in the undergraduate level biology exams. The study group of the study consisted of 60 pre-service science teachers, who were studying at a state university in Istanbul and had taken biology courses for at least two semesters. An interview form consisting of open-ended questions was used as a data collection tool in the study. The questions in this interview form were asked to the pre-service teachers through semi-structured interviews, and the descriptive analysis technique was used in the analysis of the answers. In order to ensure the reliability of the study, the data were examined by two field experts and the reliability coefficient was calculated as 87%. According to the findings, pre-service teachers stated that they found themselves successful for various reasons, mostly in multiplechoice question types. As the type of question they find unsuccessful, it is seen that the filling-in-the-blank question types stand out for different reasons.
