Abstract
The Purpose of the Study: In this study, establishing a linear regression model that explain academic achievement in terms of assessing academic achievement and intelligence is aimed. Method: In this study, a longitudinal pattern is designed by using 85 students' scores of Culture Fair Intelligence Test (CFIT) (evaluated in 5th grade), Primary Mental Abilities Ages (PMAA) (evaluated in 7th grade) and Transition From Basic To Secondary Education (TEOG) (evaluated in 8th grade). Findings and Conclusion: Findings show that there is positively meaningful relation between PMAA and TEOG scores. In established regression model, the scores of PMAA is seemed to explain the 14% of the variance. This finding is thought to prove that TEOG is based on the skill of reading comprehension rather than reasoning. For further studies, it is suggested to consider the predictors of personal variables in addition to academic achievement and intelligence scores.
Highlights
Academic achievement is assessed by different ways based on various approaches in the world
Primary Mental Abilities Ages (PMAA), were obtained while they were in the seventh grade and the last one, TEOG, was obtained while they were in the eighth grade
Since there is no relation between Culture Fair Intelligence Test (CFIT) total score and TEOG scores, CFIT total scores were agreed to be removed from the regression equation
Summary
Academic achievement is assessed by different ways based on various approaches in the world. Transition From Basic to Secondary Education (TEOG) which forms the basic score of determining high school type for 8th graders is one of these exams. This is a multiple choice exam done twice a year while students study at 8th grade and it contains the 8th grade curriculum of Turkish, Maths, Science, Religious Education, Revolution History & Kemalizm and English [1]. According to the Ministry of National Education PISA reports [3,4] the difference in score averages between students who study in Anatolian / Science High Schools and Vocational High Schools is significantly high.
