The development of mathematics achievement test battery in order to scan first stage of primary school mathematics learning difficulties

Purpose of this study is develop a valid and reliable test to determine students have learning disability on math who are studying at first grade of primary school. Primary Schools Math cirriculum which was developed by Nation Education Ministry was investigated for this test. Acquirements in this Math Achievement Test are include numbers, geometry, measurement and data. To determine the critical acquirements would take place in the test were taken expert opinion. According to expert opinions 117 test substances were written. This test run was held in four general primary school with 787 students in Eskisehir Tepebasi. With the data gained after the implementation of this study, internal consistency analysis, corelation analysis and hypothesis analysis were done. To determine the validity of a criterion referenced test corelation relation was done with Basic Capabilites Test 7-11. The reliability of the test was determined by the KR-20 reliability coefficient. Difficulty and discriminative indexes of substances are calculated. Results, corelation between test and TKT 7-11 was .76, .79, .71, .71 for 1-4 grades students. The KR-20 reliability coefficiency of Math Achievement Test for 1-4 grades students are .76, .79, .85, .83 . The average difficulty value calculated of test items for 1-4 grades respectively, 0.75, , 0.76, 0.75, 0.60 was determined. Mathematics Achievement Test last form 1-4. Grades level, respectively 24, 25, 33, 35 items were taking place. As a result, research findings, Developed mathematics achievement test in grade 1-4 shows that it has the reliability and validity properties.
