Abstract
The aim of the study is to investigate classroom teachers opinions regarding the
achievements gained via the new measurement and evaluation methods used in Social Studies courses
and the problems faced in the classrooms. An open-ended questionnaire was designed and distributed to
129 classroom teachers. Additionally, interviews were carried out with 28 teachers. The content analysis
was used in order to analyze, sort and quantify the written and verbal data. According to the findings of
the study, teachers think that evaluation of all facets of students, addressing different intelligences of
students, raising the interest and success of students are the achievements of the new measurement and
evaluation methods while overcrowded classrooms, limited time to apply the measurement and evaluation
methods in classrooms, school infrastructure seem to be some of the problems faced in classrooms.
Implications for overcoming the problems related to the new measurement and evaluation methods were
