An Analysis of Mathematics and Geometry Questions in OSS, YGS and LYS According to the Revised Bloom Taxonomy Between 2006-2012 Years

This study aims to classify the Mathematics and Geometry questions which had been asked university entrance examinations carried out between 2006 and 2012 in OSS/MAT1, OSS/MAT2, YGS/MAT, LYS/MAT and LYS/GEO according to the revised Bloom taxonomy in the dimensions of cognitive process. In the study, document analysis method was used. The data gathered for the purpose of the research was analyzed according to the frequency and percentage of the SPSS 20.0 software package. The study findings revealed that, the Mathematics and Geometry questions asked in the university exams are mostly at the level of apply and analyze of the cognitive process dimension in the revised Bloom Taxonomy. It has been determined that there is no remember of the cognitive process. The comparative statistical analyses showed that there wasn’t a significant difference between the years according to the dimensions of cognitive process of Mathematics and Geometry questions asked in the university entrance exams. To reveal the reflection of the curriculum changes made in 2013 on the exam questions, similar studies can be conducted in the future and the results can compared.
