A Mathematical Modelling of Success in Education
Abstract
In this study, to determine the value of success within any time interval or specified time intervals, a mathematical model has been developed by taking into account “Discipline Factors”, “Teacher Factors”, “Negative Factors” and “Student Factors” as factors affecting the success of the student, class or school, positively or negatively. These factors, determining the value of success, which are the parameters of the mathematical model, was defined as real-valued linear functions, considering internal and external influences and any interventions and with the help of these functions, situations in which success is increasing, decreasing, or stable in a time interval examined by this model.
