An Investigation of the Differences between Students in Low and High Achieving Schools and between Female and Male Students based on Motivational and Cognitive Variables in Turkey

Abstract

Students in low achieving and students in high achieving schools were compared based on attitudes towards science, epistemological beliefs, metacognition, views on science teaching, and socio-economic status in the present study. Besides girls and boys were compared both in high and low achieving schools based on these variables. Results of this study showed that students in high achieving schools outperformed their peers in low achieving schools on all of these measures. In addition girls stated more positive epistemological beliefs and views on science teaching and had higher science achievement than boys in high achieving schools. On the other hand, it was found that girls had more positive metacognitive skills than boys in low achieving schools. Implications regarding science education were discussed according to these findings.
