Eğitim Bilimleri (Education Sciences) for the KPSS Exam — California candidates

12% of the KPSS test plan. Educational psychology, curriculum development, measurement, and evaluation for KPSS education candidates. Calibrated for Californian candidates.

Examiners do not award marks for content alone — they award them for the ability to demonstrate competency in the precise format the test demands. Eğitim Bilimleri (Education Sciences) sits at roughly 12% of the Kamu Personeli Seçme Sınavı (Public Personnel Selection Exam) content distribution — Eğitim Bilimleri is the specialized content section for candidates applying for teacher positions in public schools through KPSS. It covers educational psychology (Eğitim Psikolojisi), curriculum theory (Program Geliştirme), measurement and evaluation (Ölçme ve Değerlendirme), and guidance and counselling (Rehberlik). Pass rates for the KPSS are published annually by the awarding body and vary by cohort and locale. For California candidates preparing for KPSS, the calibration of study to local context matters: California is the largest U.S. testing market for NCLEX, MCAT, SAT, and ACT. The CA Board of Registered Nursing has notoriously long endorsement timelines (8–14 weeks).

Pass rates for KPSS (California, USA) are published periodically by the awarding body.

Common failure modes

These are the patterns that cause most candidates to lose marks on this topic. Recognising them in advance is half the work.

  • !Confusing learning theories: Piaget's cognitive stages vs Vygotsky's social learning vs Bloom's taxonomy
  • !Misidentifying measurement types: formative vs summative, norm-referenced vs criterion-referenced
  • !Confusing guidance (rehberlik) approaches: directive vs non-directive counselling

Study tips

  • 1Create a comparison chart for learning theories: Piaget, Vygotsky, Bandura, Skinner, Bruner — key concepts and differences.
  • 2Master Bloom's Taxonomy at all levels and be able to identify which level a given educational objective represents.
  • 3Study Turkish curriculum terms: kazanım (learning outcome), belirteç (indicator), ünite (unit), modül (module).
  • 4For NCLEX-RN: the California Board of Registered Nursing requires LiveScan fingerprinting before ATT release; book early because LiveScan vendors fill 2–3 weeks out.
  • 5For MCAT/SAT/ACT: California universities are test-blind for SAT/ACT undergraduate admission as of 2024; verify whether your target medical/grad programs still require MCAT/GRE.
  • 6For CDL: California has its own "California Special Requirements" addendum on top of FMCSA; review the CA Commercial Driver Handbook before sitting the written test.

  1. 1

    Bloom's Taksonomi'sinde en üst düzey bilişsel beceri hangisidir?

    • ABilgi (Knowledge)
    • BUygulama (Application)
    • CAnaliz (Analysis)
    • DDeğerlendirme (Evaluation)Correct
    Why this answer?

    In Bloom's original taxonomy, Evaluation (Değerlendirme) is the highest cognitive level — it involves making judgments based on criteria. Anderson & Krathwohl's revised taxonomy places "Create" (Yaratma) above Evaluation. KPSS questions typically test the original Bloom's taxonomy where Evaluation is the apex.
