Abstract





Purpose- In the PISA (Program for
International Student Assessment), science and mathematics literacy are
emphasized. PISA data are being benefited in directing education policies. In
this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between Mathematics Literacy,
Mathematics Content Knowledge and Science Literacy of 15 years old students in
Turkey by using PISA 2012 data. Moreover, it was aimed to reveal whether there
is any relationship between the time spent on science and mathematics outside
the school and students’ Science Literacy. 



Methodology-
This study is a descriptive research. As a research instrument, the
researchers used the results of cognitive tests utilised by PISA in 2012 to
assess students’ science and mathematics literacy skills. The data were
obtained from the official website of PISA. In this study, parametric tests
were used in evaluating the quantitative data. An ANOVA test and the
correlation were used.



Findings- The results
show that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between Mathematic
Literacy, Mathematic Content Knowledge and Science Literacy. Furthermore, it
was found that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between the time
spent on science and mathematics outside the school and students’ Science
Literacy.



Conclusion- According to
the results of this study, it might be said that Mathematics literacy,
Mathematics Content Knowledge and the time devoted by students to Mathematics
and Science outside of the school increase, the Science Literacy increases. In
addition, it was revealed that the students who have a good understanding of
Mathematics are more positive in Science Literacy.  Therefore, the mathematical concepts related
to the science should be included in the science curriculum after being taught
in the mathematics course, this will contribute to science literacy of the
students
