Abstract:

This research was carried out to develop a multiple-choice measurement tool to measure the academic achievement of non-thesis master's degree students in ‘3D Technologies’, ‘Augmented Reality’, ‘Virtual Reality’ and ‘Metaverse’ subjects of Virtual Learning Technologies course by considering the achievement test development processes. For this purpose, in accordance with the achievement test development processes, the purpose of developing the test, the objectives and achievements of the course were determined and an item pool consisting of 53 items and a specification table were created. In order to ensure the content validity of the achievement test, the specification table was presented to 9 experts in the field. After the feedback from the field experts, the 25-item achievement test was made ready for the trial application after the expert comments were analyzed and the items to be corrected were rearranged and the items recommended to be removed were examined. The sample group of the trial application consisted of 27 non-thesis master's students who were studying at Anadolu University Graduate School of Graduate Education in the autumn semester of the 2024-2025 academic year and who took the Virtual Reality in Visual Communication course coded GIT 509 remotely. The 25-item achievement test was applied to the sample group online via Google Form on 09.01.2025. As a result of the trial application, the reliability coefficient (KR-20) of the achievement test was calculated as .763, the average item difficulty index was 0.64, and the average item discrimination was 0.38. Items requiring revision were rearranged in accordance with the results of item discrimination analysis. According to the results of the item distraction analysis, the items that did not undertake the task of distraction were rearranged. As a result of the research, the virtual learning technologies achievement test consisting of 25 items was developed as a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used for distance learning non-thesis master's degree students.
