Investigation of the Science Individualized Education Programs’ Learning Outcomes According to the Revised Bloom Taxonomy

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the LO in individualized education programs (IEP) have any learning outcome value, whether they are included in the science education curriculum, and how the LO are distributed according to the RBT knowledge and cognitive process dimension levels. The IEPs from 49 science teachers working in 7 different regions of Turkey, which they prepared at the secondary school levels, were requested, and IEPs were analyzed using the document analysis method. It was concluded from the analysis that 6% of the LO in the IEPs did not have any learning outcome value and that 55% of the 2883 LO that had a learning outcome value consisted of those included in the science education curriculum. It was determined that the LO in the IEPs were at the level of conceptual at the most and at the level of meta-cognitive at the least from the knowledge dimension levels of RBT additionally, they were at the understanding at the most and at the creating and evaluating at the least from cognitive process dimension levels of RBT.
