Özet

PISA is one of the most influential international assessment program for providing feedback to education policy makers in the participating countries. In the present study, HLM analysis was carried out for the Turkish database for deriving findings related to student and school related factors as PISA described. For the student related factors, it was found that more educational resources at home, lower student teacher relations, positive feelings about school, higher levels of mathematics self-efficacy, lower levels of mathematics anxiety, more positive self-concept, more preferences for control strategies, less preferences for elaboration and memorization strategies and more positive disciplinary climate in mathematics lessons reveal higher mathematical literacy measures. Similarly, for the school related factors, it was found that higher performing schools have higher self-efficacy of the students, larger school size, higher proportion of females enrolled, lower total student-teacher ratio and mathematics student-teacher ratio, higher academic selectivity, higher quality of physical infrastructure, more positive evaluations of student-related factors and the less positive evaluations of teacher-related factors affecting school climate. Moreover, the disciplinary climate in mathematics lessons has more of an influence on mathematical literacy in schools with larger school size and with larger mathematics student-teacher ratio. The results were discussed in terms of education policy impact in the Turkish educational system.
