Educational Research and Reviews, v6 n3 p334-341 Mar 2011
The aim of this study is to reveal the teachers' views regarding the recommended instruments and methods of measuring assessment in Geography Course Curriculum that has been in practice in Turkey since 2005. In the qualitatively planned research, the data has been analysed from the discussions of 10 different geography teachers, 4 of them females, and from the analysis of the assignments of the students. The data has been analysed descriptively. The research results have revealed that the geography teachers did not have sufficient information on the new instruments and methods of assessment and evaluation and they did not use the new tools and methods of measuring and assessment, which the programme offers sufficiently.
