Abstract :With the replacement of TEOG in 2018 by the LGS, as known a new concept has emerged in the measurement and evaluation. This concept is called the new generation item. This research aims to determine teachers\' opinions about new-generation items. This study was designed with a mixed-method strategy. Chi-square analysis was applied to the quantitatively collected data and content analysis was applied to the qualitatively collected data. A total of 192 teachers from 23 different fields participated in the study. The research data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire form prepared by the researchers. 75 (39 %) of the teachers stated that there is no concept of a new generation item, and 117 (71 %) of them stated that there is such a concept. It was found that there was no statistically significant correlation between the branch of the teachers, their professional time and whether they attended any course/seminar/workshop and their answers about the existence of the concept of new generation items. Seven themes were revealed in the qualitative part, where teachers\' views on the concept of new generation items were taken. These themes are the Formal view, Skill-based, Taxonomic view, Reading comprehension-based, Reconstructing knowledge, Daily life skills-based, and New view. According to these themes, new generation items predominantly consist of formal reading comprehension and higher-order thinking skills.
