Determination of the Characteristics Predicting Science Achievement through the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) Method: The Case of TIMSS 2015 Turkey

Abstract: Çalışmada, Türkiye'de öğrenim gören sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin fen başarılarını yordayan öğrenci, öğretmen ve okul niteliklerinin neler olduğunun belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada TIMSS 2015 uygulaması verileri kullanılmış olup, araştırmanın çalışma gurubunu bu uygulamaya katılan 218 okuldan 6079 öğrenci ve 220 öğretmen oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama araçları olarak, TIMSS 2015 uygulamasında kullanılan sekizinci sınıf fen başarı testi; öğrenci ve öğretmenlere uygulanan öğrenci, öğretmen ve okul özellikl… Show more

“…There was a very weak correlation between science achievement and the covariates of "student confidence in science (SCICONF) and mathematics (MATHCONF)," "like learning science" (LEARNSCI), "instructional clarity in science lessons" (CLARITY), "sex" (SEX) and "speaking the language of the test at home" (LANG). However, in the literature, there was a positive correlation between science achievement and other covariates except for language (Aydın, 2015;Aydoğan & Gelbal, 2022;Coşkun, 2021;Sarıer, 2020;Soysal, 2019;Üstün, 2007).…”

“…TIMSS provides researchers with a comprehensive data set, including achievement-related factors such as student characteristics, school resources, teacher qualifications, teaching practices, and family characteristics (e.g., language spoken at home, home resources for learning) (House, 2006;Leung, 2002). In the literature, the variables that can affect science achievement involve student characteristics (Coşkun, 2021;Pajares, 2008;Sarıer, 2020), school and teacher qualifications (Aydoğan & Gelbal, 2022;Coşkun, 2021;Sarıer, 2020), and family characteristics (Özkan, 2018;Salaway, 2008;Soysal, 2019;Üstün, 2007). The present study equated the scores from different science achievement test booklets in TIMSS 2019 by using the relevant covariates.…”
