The Investigation of the Relationship Between Mathematics and Science Literacy and Information and Communication Technology Variables

Abstract

This study attempted to identify the information and communication technology items that affected students' mathematics and science literacy scores by making use of the 2015 PISA data, The presence of numerous items related to ICT in the PISA and the administration of these items to large groups of people provides researchers with a large data source. However, researchers experience challenges in revealing the significant and beneficial data among the entire data set. So one of the most commonly used data mining method is the Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection method (CHAID), which is the decision tree method. As a result of the CHAID analysis, conducted to reveal the ICT items related to mathematics literacy scores, it was revealed that there was a significant relationship between mathematics literacy scores and the eight variables. For science literacy, there was a ten significant relationship variables. There is a relationship between high science and mathematics literacy scores and using digital devices at an early age as well as feeling comfortable with using digital devices at home. As an outcome of the CHAID algorithm, the realization of a significant reduction was achieved in the dimensionality of both models. The selected variables can be used for future research and development of new, parametric models. In the resulting model, apart from the reduction of the number of predictors, the reduction of their categories was also achieved.

Öğrencilerin Uzaktan Öğrenme Ortamında Eğitim Yaşantısının Memnuniyete Etkisi

“…CHAID analysis (Koğar, 2019), one of the multivariate analysis methods, was used to examine the dominance of the independent variables over the dependent variable. In other words, CHAID analysis was conducted to examine the independent variables that affected students' satisfaction with distance education during the Covid-19 emergency distance education process.…”

“…Araştırmada bağımsız değişkenlerin bağımlı değişken üzerindeki baskınlığını incelemek için çok değişkenli analiz yöntemlerinden CHAID analizi (Koğar, 2019) kullanılmıştır. Bir diğer ifadeyle Covid-19 acil uzaktan eğitim sürecinde öğrencilerin uzaktan eğitim memnuniyeti üzerinde etkili olan bağımsız değişkenleri incelemek için CHAID analizi yapılmıştır.…”

A SEM-based approach towards the Utilization of Technology and its Relationship to the performance of private business education institutions

“…The connections between tasks and new tech can be better understood with the help of TTF connections, which can be viewed from various angles. Increased efficiency, modified user attitudes, or boosted product usage Figure below displays the original TTF model presented by TTF, which argues that high utilization of the system and high performance by users occur whenever there is a fit among user tasks regard to the characteristics of the IS (Koğar, 2019). Furthermore, this model implies that the degree to which a new technology meets the needs of a specific job is a crucial factor in determining how quickly it will be adopted.…”

“…Almost all respondents to the survey's technology characteristics section rated MIS tools as highly functional. According to the research results, certain features of technologies profoundly affect how well they mesh with specific jobs (Koğar, 2019).…”

The Effect of Smartphones Usability on High School Students' Science Literacy Ability in Physics Learning

“…Optimizing the ability of high school students especially the science literacy ability in physics learning can be done by integrating the use of smartphones in physics learning by considering indicators of science literacy ability of high school students to increase (Mudaly & Fletcher, 2019). This can be done by explaining physics material that occurs in everyday life to students and integrating it into smartphones, which can be in the form of daily events simulations, Android-based traditional games, android-based physics comics, or virtual laboratories that can be operated through smartphones (Koğar, 2019). Therefore, with these various efforts, the science literacy ability of high school students in physics should be achieved optimally.…”
