Evaluation of Mathematics Sample Questions Published for LGS According to the Opinions of Secondary School Students

Year 2023, Volume: 7, 1 - 5, 30.12.2023

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the mathematics sample questions published for LGS according to the opinions of secondary school students. Therefore, this research used a case study, one of the qualitative research approaches, which aims to determine the views of secondary school students on the mathematics sample questions for LGS, which is defined as the "new generation question" published by the Ministry of National Education. Interview method in qualitative research techniques was adopted as the data collection method of the study. The interview form developed by the researchers was used. The data obtained in this research were analyzed with the descriptive analysis method. Evaluation of the mathematics sample questions published for LGS according to the opinions of secondary school students, the result obtained in the related research; It can be said that there are opinions that are suitable in daily life but are more difficult than the old question types, that they are made difficult by participating in a plot, that there are question types that they are not accustomed to, that they affect them psychologically because they are difficult to solve. It was observed that the emergence of these unfamiliar question types increased the anxiety level of the student, and caused a loss of motivation, and some students stated that they were hopeless. In line with the results of the study, it is thought that the positive effects of the new generation questions will be explained in detail and the attitudes in this direction and the students' development of their own solution techniques while solving the new generation mathematics questions will have positive effects.
