The use of the taxonomy of educational objectives in Turkey

Abstract

Although the introduction of the taxonomy to Turkish education was quite parallel to its development in the United States, it took some time for it to be implemented in practice. In the fields of curriculum development and teacher education, the teaching and the use of the taxonomy were mostly theoretical in nature, whereas in the field of measurement and evaluation more practical applications and concrete examples of its use were observed. In general, it can be concluded that, with a gap of 5 to 10 years, the developments in the use of the taxonomy are followed quite closely in Turkey
