Özet

In this study, it was aimed to develop a valid and reliable achievement test to measure the project consultancy training knowledge that Biology and Science teachers received within the scope of in-service training. First of all, educational attainments were determined to be used in the specification table. A 36-item multiple-choice question pool consisting of five options was created in accordance with the outcomes. Necessary corrections were made with the opinions and suggestions of the experts on issues such as the suitability of the questions to the level of the target audience, the accuracy of the content in scientific and technical terms, the clarity of the expressions in the questions, the suitability of the distractors and the correct answer to the questions. The content validity of the test was ensured by reducing the number of items to 30 in the test, which was examined by experts. The created achievement test draft was applied to a group of 116 teachers who received a distance education "Project Consulting" seminar within the scope of the Ministry of National Education In-Service Training program in the 2020-2021 academic year, and the item analyzes of the test were made. As a result of the analysis, 10 items with low discrimination and difficulty values were removed from the test. The difficulty indexes (p) of the final version of the test, which consisted of 20 items, ranged from .23 to .80, and the mean item difficulty index was calculated as .52 and the mean item discrimination index as .44. The KuderRichardson-20 (KR-20) internal consistency coefficient of the test was found to be .72. Accordingly, it can be stated that the developed test is reliable. As a result of the reliability and validity study, a valid and reliable achievement test was put forward for the "Project Consultancy Training" within the scope of the in-service training program.
