As a result, while there was no statistically significant difference between the students who received parental support and those who did not receive parental support at the end of the first semester of application, there was a statistically significant difference between the students who received parental support and those who did not receive parental support at the end of the second semester.

Abstract

It is now supported by research that parental support is an issue that should be taken into consideration in mathematics education as well as education in general. However, there is limited research on how this support should be. Researches are generally correlational studies, and a few studies related to implementation are encountered. In this regard, this study aims to examine application-supported academic success. In this line, the purpose of this study is to identify to what extent parental support affects middle school students’ mathematics achievement. With this aim, a group of sixth-grade students and their parents who were willing to participate in the study and a group of 6th-grade students without parental involvement were selected as the sample for the study. The application for the study was carried out for two weeks in two terms. The study was designed as a quasi-experimental study. The instruments of the study were written exams that were prepared by the mathematics class teachers, achievement tests and unit evaluation exams which were prepared by the researchers. The data obtained from the study were analyzed through the SPSS 15 statistics program. As a result, while there was no statistically significant difference between the students who received parental support and those who did not receive parental support at the end of the first semester of application, there was a statistically significant difference between the students who received parental support and those who did not receive parental support at the end of the second semester.

Özet

Ebeveyn desteğinin genel olarak eğitimde etkili olduğu kadar özelde de matematik eğitiminde göz önünde bulundurulması gereken bir konu olduğu artık araştırmalarca desteklenmektedir. Ancak bu desteğin nasıl olması gerektiği konusunda sınırlı sayıda araştırma mevcuttur. Araştırmalar genelde korelasyonel çalışmalar olup uygulamaya dönük az sayıda çalışmaya rastlanılmıştır. Bu bakımdan bu çalışmada uygulama destekli akademik başarı incelemek istenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı, ebeveyn desteğinin ortaokul öğrencilerinin matematik ders başarısına ne derece etki ettiğini belirlemeye çalışmaktır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak çalışmaya, ortaokul 6. sınıfta çocukları olan ebeveynler ve bu ebeveynlerin çocukları ile bu çocuklarla eş değer öğrenim gören benzer sayıda sınıf arkadaşları çalışmaya seçilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemi gönüllülük esaslı belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaya dair uygulama iki dönemde yedi hafta boyunca gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma yarı deneysel olarak tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın veri toplama araçları, matematik ders öğretmenlerinin uyguladığı yazılı sınav sonuçları, araştırmacının hazırladığı başarı testleri ve araştırmacının hazırladığı açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan ünite değerlendirme sınavlarından oluşmaktadır. Uygulamadan elde edilen verilerin analizi ise SPSS 15 istatistik programından yararlanarak yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, uygulamanın ilk döneminin sonunda ebeveyn desteği alan öğrencilerle ebeveyn desteği almayan öğrencilerin başarı durumları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark görülmezken ikinci dönemin sonunda ebeveyn desteği alan öğrencilerle ebeveyn desteği almayan öğrencilerin başarı durumları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum bu tür bir uygulamada çalışmanın süresinin önemini düşündürmüştür.
