MATEMATİK BAŞARISINI ETKİLEYEN BAZI FAKTÖRLERİN YORDAMA GÜCÜNÜN YAPAY SİNİR AĞLARI İLE BELİRLENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada PISA 2012’ye katılan 15 yaş grubu Türk öğrencilere ilişkin veriler ışığında; öğrencilerin matematik başarılarını etkileyen bazı faktörlerin yordama gücünün belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla, “fen bilimleri başarısı”, “okuma başarısı”, “matematik kaygısı”, “evdeki eğitimsel olanaklar”, “evdeki olanaklar”, “matematiğe yönelik ilgi”, “matematiğe yönelik tutum” ve “matematik öğretmeninin desteği” değişken olarak ele alınmıştır. Bu değişkenlerin, öğrencilerin matematik başarısını yordayıcılık düzeyini belirlemede Yapay Sinir Ağlarından (YSA) yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgularda, yapay sinir ağları modelinde matematik başarısını doğru sınıflama yüzdesi %89,1 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca matematik başarısı üzerinde istatistiksel olarak diğer değişkenlere göre; en çok anlamlı etkiye sahip olan değişken “fen bilimleri başarısı”, en az anlamlı etkiye sahip olan değişken ise “evdeki olanaklar” olarak belirlenmiştir.
