The purpose of thisstudy is to make a systematic examination of the results of those studies thathave explored the variables associated with the scientific literacy achievementof Turkish students in PISA 2003, 2006 and 2009 (Programme for InternationalStudent Assessment) and todetermine whether such studies have obtained any generalizable and consistentresults in regard to the relationships between these variables and achievement.Document analysis, which is a qualitative research method, was used in thisstudy. The research sample consisted of 23 national studies in this field. Itwas observed that these studies determined a positive relationship betweenparental educational level and student achievement in scientific literacy.Likewise, it was reported that there was a positive relationship betweenattitude towards science and student achievement and that female students aremore successful in scientific literacy. Moreover, the examined studies showedthat there was a positive relationship between devoted time for learning and scientificliteracy.success.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’deki öğrencilerinPISA 2003, 2006 ve 2009 (Uluslararası Öğrenci Değerlendirme Programı) fenokuryazarlığı başarısı ile ilişkili olan değişkenleri araştırıldığı çalışmasonuçlarının sistematik bir şekilde incelenerek, bu değişkenler ve başarıarasındaki ilişkiler hakkında, eğer varsa, genelleme yapılmasına uygun, tutarlısonuçların belirlenmesidir. Araştırmada nitel olarak yürütülmüş ve dokümananalizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi bu alanda yapılan 23 ulusalçalışma oluşturmuştur. Araştırmacıların,anne-baba eğitim düzeyi değişkeni ile öğrencilerin fen okuryazarlığı başarısıarasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğunu tespit ettikleri gözlemlenmiştir. Benzerşekilde araştırmalarda, öğrenci karakteristiklerinden olan fene yönelik tutumile öğrencilerin başarısı arasında pozitif ilişki olduğu ve kız öğrencilerinfen okuryazarlığı alanında erkeklerden daha başarılı oldukları raporedilmiştir. İncelenen çalışma sonuçları öğrenmeye ayrılan zaman ile fenokuryazarlığı başarısı arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir.
