Makale Özeti:
|
Common international student assessments have become a global
phenomenon in recent years. Accordingly, there has been significant emphasis
on students’ performances on international assessments in Turkey. This study
investigates the changes in Turkish students’ achievement in PISA
assessments between 2003 and 2009, with specific attention paid to the
achievement gaps between students who reside in different regions and who
attend different types of schools in order to explore the areas that policy
makers need to focus on. The results indicate that the situation in terms of the
achievement gaps between different types of schools does not seem very
promising, although there are some positive signs regarding closing the
achievement gaps between different regions. In this context, there is a need
for special attention toward improving the quality of education at the lowest
performing high schools, such as general high schools and vocational high
schools, in order to increase Turkish students’ average achievement.
