Evaluation of Student Exam Papers with Respect to Textualization
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Sciences and Education - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The main objective of teaching language is to raise autonomous literate individuals that have acquired basic language skills, that their communication skills have advanced and that they can express their feelings and thoughts accurately and effectively. The success and accomplishments of students in the field of Turkish language is directly proportional to their academic success. The issues that exist on the answer texts that students provide in exam questions as a way to demonstrate their academic learning, pose problems for both students and instructors. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the textualization problems and issues that students suffer from, by using samples from student exam papers. The assessment of the textualization problems that exist on student exam papers has been restricted to two approaches: namely “planning of the content based on the awareness level on the content”, which is one of the textual functions, and “establishing subject continuity by clarifying the statement subjects”, which is one of the elements of text production process. The issues observed with respect to these perspectives have been rendered and interpreted with examples. The exam papers used in this research belong to 3rd year students of the Faculty of Education, Department of Turkish Language Education. As a result of the analysis it has been observed that students face significant problems at focusing to the subject of the question and presenting the content in a hierarchically structured and coherent way, especially if the questions they are answering have more than one constituent. Based on these findings, it is concluded that students, including elementary and secondary education students, need to be educated on the subject of developing answer texts for exam questions, within the scope of text development education, as a part of Writing Skills courses.
