This study involves the development of a three-tier diagnostic test to measure high school students' understanding of states of matter concepts. The States of Matter Diagnostic Test (SMDT) is a 19-item three-tier diagnostic test consisting of three-tier items for assessing students' understanding of states of matter concepts. The SMDT was administered to 195 10th grade high school students in the pilot study and 102 10th grade high school students in the main study. Cronbach alpha reliability indexes for the SMDT were estimated to be .78 and .83 for the pilot and main study, respectively. Point-biserial coefficients ranged from .20 to .69 with an average of .44 for the pilot study and with an average of .49 for the main study.

Developing a three-tier test to assess high school students' misconceptions concerning force and motion
Türker, Fatma; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2005)
The purpose of this study is to develop a three-tier test for assessing high school students̕ misconceptions concerning force and motion. The first tier is a traditional multiple choice item, the second tier presents several alternatives addressing the reason for the response for the first tier, and the third tier asks if examinees are confident for their responses to the first two tiers. In the process of test development, Force and Motion Test Requesting Reasoning was developed and utilized to determine t...
Üç Aşamalı Elektrokimya Kavram Testinin Geliştirilmesi
Şen, Şenol; Yılmaz, Ayhan; Geban, Ömer (2018-06-01)
Bu çalışmanın amacı, lise öğrencilerinin elektrokimya konusundaki kavramsal anlamalarını belirlemek amacıyla üç aşamalı bir kavram testi geliştirmek, güvenirlik ve geçerlik çalışmalarını yapmaktır. Çalışmaya 268 lise öğrencisi katılmıştır. Öğrencilerin, yaşları 16-20 arasında değişmektedir. Çalışmada üç aşamadan oluşan 29 soruluk bir test kullanılmıştır. Kapsam ve görünüş geçerliği için uzman görüşü alınmıştır. Madde analizlerini yapmak için testin toplam puanlarına göre alt %27 ve üst %27’lik gruplar belir...
Development of a three-tier test to assess ninth grade students' misconceptions about simple electric circuits
Peşman, Haki; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2005)
The main purpose of this study was to develop a three-tier test for assessing ninth-grade students̕ misconceptions about simple electric circuits. The first tier of an item on the test presents an ordinary multiple choice question, the second tier presents a set of reasons for the response given to the first tier, and the third tier questions if examinees are confident for their responses to the first two tiers. The study was carried in Polatlı, the biggest outlying district of capital Ankara. In the light ...
A modeling study : the interrelationships among elementary students’ epistemological beliefs, learning enviroment perceptions, learning approaches and science achievement
Uysal, Emel; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2010)
This study is aimed to explore the relationships among elementary students’ epistemological beliefs of science, perceptions of learning environments, learning approaches and science achievement. For this purpose, a model of the associations among these variables was proposed and tested by structural equation modeling. In this model, it was hypothesized that a) students’ perceptions of their learning environments would directly influence their epistemological beliefs of science and learning approaches, b) st...
Assessing tenth grade students’ difficulties about kinematics graphs by a three-tier test
Aydın, Özlem; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2007)
The main purpose of this study was to develop a three-tier test for assessing tenthgrade students’ difficulties about kinematics graphs. In a three-tier test, first tier is classical multiple-choice question, the second tier is also classical multiple-choice question but presents reasons for answers given to the first tier and the third tier asks existence of confidence about the first two tiers. To develop a three-tier test, Turkish translation of the Test of Understanding Graphs in Kinematics (TUG-K) deve...
