An Investigation of the Reason for Failure of High School Students in Mathematics Course

Öz

The general purpose of this study is to examine the reasons for the failure of students studying at the second level of education (high school). The implementation process of the research was carried out with students studying in public high schools in Isparta province in the 2019-2020 academic year. In the study, a cross-sectional survey model was used and accordingly, it was examined whether differ in terms of various variables. The sample of the study consists of a total of 588 students studying at located in the city center of Isparta. In the study, the "Mathematics Course Failure Scale" was used as a data collection tool, which was developed for this purpose and whose reliability and validity studies were conducted. Statistical techniques such as frequency, arithmetic mean, t test, one-way ANOVA were used in the analysis of the data. It has been determined that family, friends, the school environment and physical equipment, teachers' attitudes towards students and teaching methods, classroom environment, the curriculum applied in all high schools, the system being applied, and the personal characteristics of the students play an important role in students' failure in mathematics lessons and some suggestions were made in line with the findings of the study.
