Abstract :In this study, measurement and assessment literacy levels of teachers were investigated in the context of certain factors. Assessment literacy inventory was applied to 189 secondary school teachers to determine teachers' measurement and assessment literacy levels. The item examination skill test was applied to 54 secondary school mathematics teachers to determine the relationship between secondary school mathematics teachers' measurement and assessment literacy levels and their skill to examine items appropriate to attainment and grade level was analyzed. It was as well as discovered that measurement and assessment literacy level of the teachers was low. It was also found that measurement and assessment literacy levels of the teachers significantly differ by professional seniority and branch. A moderately significant positive correlation was found between the teachers' skill to examine items appropriate to educational attainment and grade level, and their measurement and assessment literacy levels. Due to the low measurement and assessment literacy level of secondary school teachers, studies such as seminars or trainings on this subject can be conducted. Practical activities can also be conducted along with the theoretical information on the subject.
