Problem Statement: International studies, such as the repeat of Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study and Programme for International Student Assessment, have shown that the mathematics achievements of Turkish students are lower than the international average. Geometry is an area of particular weakness. The use of dynamic computer environments has been advocated as a means to improve student understanding and problem-solving skills in geometry. Although a number of research studies have utilized dynamic geometry software as a tool for investigating students' learning of geometrical concepts, most are case studies with very small samples of students. Therefore, there is a need for experimental studies about the effects of dynamic geometry environments on students' learning of various geometrical concepts.

Equity in the Turkish education system: A multilevel analysis of social background influences on the mathematics performance of 15-year-old students ÖZDEMİR, CANER (SAGE Publications, 2016-03-01) This paper aims to discover the level of equity in the Turkish education system using maths outcomes of 15-year-old students in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) exam. In order to do that, associations between various social background variables and student performance are analysed via multilevel models. Female pupils, students from lower socio-economic backgrounds and students from eastern regions are all found to be disadvantaged in terms of maths outcomes. The biggest gap between ...
The impact of school and student related factors on scientific literacy skills in the programme for international student assessment-Pisa 2006 Çalışkan, Müfide; Berberoğlu, Halil Giray; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2008) The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of school and student related factors on scientific literacy skills of Turkish students in the Programme for International Student Assessment PISA 2006. 4942, 15 year-old Turkish students from 10 primary schools, 88 general high schools and 66 vocational high schools participated in this assessment. Among the student factors considered were gender, student background, motivational factors, science self belief, value belief regarding science, science-relate...
A cross-cultural comparison of the impact of human and physical resource allocations on students' mathematical literacy skills in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003 İş Güzel, Çiğdem; Berberoğlu, Halil Giray; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006) The purpose of the present study is to gain a more complete understanding of the impact of human and physical resource allocations and their interaction on students’ mathematical literacy skills across Turkey, member and candidate countries of European Union through the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) techniques were used separately for three different cultural settings using the database of Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) ...
Effects of student and school related factors on the mathematics achievement in Turkey at eight grade level Altun, Ayşegül; Berberoğlu, Halil Giray; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2007) The purpose of the study is to investigate how well the mathematics achievement is explained by the students and school related factors. Also, to what extent students and school related factors components are accounted for students’ mathematics achievement in answering reasoning level questions and basic mathematical knowledge questions will be investigated. This study will basically combine students’ questionnaires items with their mathematics achievement scores obtained from mathematics achievement tests ...
Factors affecting scientific literacy of students in Turkey in programme for international student assessment (Pisa) Erbaş, Kadir Can; Berberoğlu, Halil Giray; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2005) The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that are related to scientific literacy of 15-year old students in Turkey in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data. Two groups of variables were considered for the analyses. In the first group; number of books at home and attendance to preschool, attitudes towards school, student-teacher relation, feeling of loneliness, remedial study and homework and attending out-of-school courses were taken as variables that are related to scien...
