Abstract

To determine the effectiveness of the activities in the education and training process and to provide feedback on the inputs and outputs of the system, quantitative and qualitative data are collected from students and the collected data are analyzed and interpreted. All these processes take place within the scope of educational measurement and evaluation activities. Measurement and evaluation activities are practices frequently conducted by teachers in the classroom to monitor the education and training process, which makes them an important element of the teaching process. The main purpose of this research is to reveal the competence of primary school teachers in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus TRNC to use measurement and evaluation methods. This study aims to determine the qualifications of teachers in measurement and evaluation practices and uses the relational screening design, one of the quantitative research methods. The study population consists of 276 teachers working in primary schools in the TRNC in the 2020-2021 academic year. The research data were collected through the Recommended Measurement and Evaluation Practices Scale and the Applied Measurement and Evaluation Techniques Form. The SPPS 26.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data obtained. The study results showed that male teachers' recommended measurement and evaluation levels and the levels of measurement and evaluation techniques applied are higher than female teachers. In addition, there was a positive correlation between the scales used.
