Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the frequency of use of digital resources for educational purposes by students participating in PISA 2022 from Turkey and their preferences for additional learning activities for learning mathematics (one-on-one tutoring with one person, tutoring via an internet application, video-recorded instruction created by an instructor, small group work with 2-7 people, large group work with 8 or more students, and no additional work for learning mathematics). For this purpose, the responses of students in the PISA 2022 dataset regarding how frequently they use digital resources and their preferences for additional mathematics activities were examined. Mann-Whitney U test was conducted for the analyses. The results showed that the frequency of use of digital resources was a significant predictor of additional mathematics preferences.
