Eğitim Bilimleri (Education Sciences) for the KPSS Exam — New York candidates
12% of the KPSS test plan. Educational psychology, curriculum development, measurement, and evaluation for KPSS education candidates. Calibrated for New Yorker candidates.
Most exam coaching covers the curriculum at the same depth across all topics. That misses the asymmetry of high-stakes testing: a few topics carry disproportionate weight on the score. 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 New York candidates preparing for KPSS, the calibration of study to local context matters: New York is a top-3 state for NCLEX-RN, MCAT, and GRE candidates. NY State Education Department (NYSED) handles RN licensure differently from compact states.
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: NYSED is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so a NY licence does not transfer to other states without endorsement. Consider this if you plan to work in NJ/CT after graduating.
- 5For MCAT: most NY medical schools (Columbia, Cornell, Mount Sinai, NYU) cap MCAT scores accepted at 3 years old — verify your target schools' exact policy.
- 6For CDL: NY DMV requires a 14-day permit-holding period before scheduling the CDL skills test; budget this gap into your training schedule.

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.
