For teachers, Ministry of Education and for academicians working in the field of education there may be many micro factors that can affect the success of the pupil in the school. However, generally these factors are put on with either just experiences or with just narrow surveys on just a few students. However, there is a large number of data that is waiting to be tested in the hands of Ministry of Education, just because of the common examinations performed in Turkey (OYS, SBS, YGS….) at least for the last 50 years. This paper here came out just as a curiosity of the writer for this field. The paper analyzes the average SBS results in different Istanbul districts and relates them to the average wealth, education level, private schooling and some other factors of the districts. The results are straightforward; the most important factor affecting the common examination successes is the education level of the family and the neighborhood. Though income has also some positive effects on SBS success it is not as direct and apparent as the education of the family. The paper shows that also private schooling and Life Quality of the neighborhood has some positive affects on SBS results

ÖĞRENCİLERİN AKADEMİK BAŞARISINI ETKİLEYEN FAKTÖRLER: ISTANBUL İLÇELERİNİN BAŞARI BELİRLEME SINAVI SONUÇLARININ MAKROEKONOMİK KANITI

Öz

Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’nda çalışan öğretmenler ve eğitim alanında çalışan akademisyenler için okulda öğrenci
başarısını etkileyen birçok mikro faktör vardır. Ancak, genel olarak bu faktörler sadece deneyimler veya birkaç öğrenci
üzerinde sadece dar anketler ile ortaya koyulur. Bununla birlikte, yalnızca son 50 yıldır (ÖYS, SBS, YGS ....) Türkiye'de
yapılan ortak sınavlar nedeniyle, Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’nda test edilmeyi bekleyen çok sayıda veri bulunmaktadır. Bu
makale, yazarın bu alana merakından dolayı ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışma, İstanbul’un farklı ilçelerindeki ortalama SBS
sonuçlarını analiz etmekte ve söz konusu sonuçları ortalama zenginlik, eğitim düzeyi, özel okul ve diğer faktörlerle
ilişkilendirmektedir. Sonuçlar açıktır; ortak sınav başarısını etkileyen en önemli faktör ailenin ve mahallenin eğitim
düzeyidir. Gelir seviyesinin de SBS başarısı üzerinde bazı olumlu etkileri olsa da bu, aile eğitimi gibi doğrudan ve belirgin
değildir. Çalışma ayrıca özel eğitim ve mahallenin yaşam kalitesinin SBS sonuçları üzerinde bazı olumlu etkileri olduğunu
göstermektedir.
