Özet

Öğrencilerde kazandırılmaya çalışılan temel beceriler içerisinde okuduğunu anlama becerisi gelmektedir.  Okuduğunu anlama becerisine erişememiş bir birey günlük hayatta ve profesyonel hayatta birçok zorlukla karşılaşması muhtemeldir. Araştırmada, öğrencilerin okuduğunu anlama performanslarıyla ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülen okul düzeyindeki değişkenlerin etkisi araştırılmıştır. PISA 2009 uygulamasına katılan Hollanda, Kore ve Türkiye’deki öğrenciler örneklemi oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama araçları PISA 2009 okuma becerileri testi ve okul anketleridir. İki düzeyli Hiyerarşik Doğrusal Modellerler kullanılarak analizler yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre Hollanda ve Kore’de öğrencinin okuduğunu anlama performansı okul içi davranışlar ve okul mevcuduna göre değişmektedir. Türkiye’de öğrencilerin okuma performansları öğrenci öğretmen oranına ve okuldaki kız öğrenci oranına göre değişmektedir.
