The Predictive Degree of Anatolian High School 11th Grade Science Students’ Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geometry and Biology Academic Achievements on Their University Entrance Examination Quantitative Scores
Abstract
In this research, it is aimed to reveal the predictive degree of Anatolian High School 11th Grade Science students’ mathematics, physics, chemistry, geometry, and biology academic achievements on their University Entrance Examination scores. The descriptive research has a subjects consisted of 858 science class students from nine different Anatolian High Schools. In the research, University Entrance Examination quantitative scores of students in 2007 and their 2006-2007 academic achievement points for mathematics, physics, chemistry, geometry and biology are used as the data set. As a result of the research, it was found that students’ academic grades for mathematics, physics, chemistry, and geometry are significant predictors in explaining their University Entrance Examination quantitative success. Their academic achievement in biology, however, is not a significant predictor in explaining their University Entrance Examination quantitative success.
