Although 5895 15-year-old Turkish students </p> <p>were participated in PISA study, the data of 5355 students were included in the analysis because of the </p> <p>missing data of the selected variables. 12 items which were related to students’ home educational resources </p> <p>were used in LCA analysis. As a result, 3 classes were determined; 32% of students were in 1st latent class, </p> <p>29% of students were in 2nd latent class and 39% of students were in 3rd latent class. It was revealed that </p> <p>students in 1st latent class had only “a desk to study at”, “a quiet place to study”, “books to help with your </p> <p>school work” and “a dictionary” while students in 3rd latent class had all the home educational resources </p> <p>(12 items). Furthermore, it was shown that students in 3rd latent class had the highest mathematics score </p> <p>while students in 1st latent class had the lowest mathematics scores. </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Marmara University}
