Using PISA 2003, Examining the Factors Affecting Students’ Mathematics Achievement

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğrenme stratejilerinin matematik başarısı üzerine etkilerini incelemektir. ÖrneklemTürkiye’deki Uluslararası Öğrenci Değerlendirme Programına (PISA) katılan öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Bu veri 158okulda 15 yaşındaki 4493 Türk öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Analiz genelleştirilmiş hiyerarşik lineer modellerin özel bir durumuolan iki aşamalı bernoulli modeli ile yapılmıştır. Okullar ve okullar içindeki öğrencilerden meydana gelen kümelenmiş veriseti iki aşamalı hiyerarşik bir yapıda incelenmiştir. Çok aşamalı regresyon analizi kullanılarak katsayılar tahmin edilmiş veokullar karşısında farklılıklar modellenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda matematik başarısı için lokasyon, cinsiyet vematematiğe olan ilgi değişkenlerinin pozitif ve detaylı öğrenme stratejisi değişkeninin de güçlü negatif etkiye sahip olduğugösterilmiştir
