Sekizinci Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Soru Çözerken Yaptıkları Yanlışların Analizi

Studying for the High School Entrance Examination is one of the critical periods in students' lives. In this period, which coincides with the adolescence period, students are preparing for an exam that will affect their future lives. The students who solve many questions from Mathematics, Science, Turkish, History of Revolution and Kemalism, English and Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge courses naturally make mistakes. Determining the reasons of these mistakes provides an opportunity for students to learn from their mistakes. The aim of this study is to analyze what kind of mistakes the eighth grade students make in their problem solving works. In this context, a total of 257210 questions solved by 10 students preparing for LGS in 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 in all branches and 10705 mistakes were analyzed. Reasons of making mistakes were classified as lack of attention, lack of subject matter knowledge, process/method mistakes, and comprehension mistakes. Consequently, it was found that students mostly make mistakes in Mathematics, Science, Turkish and Religious Culture courses because they could not understand the questions. The most common reason of making mistakes in History of Revolution and Kemalism is lack of subject matter knowledve and lack of vocabulary in English. According the to the findings suggestions were developed for students and future researches. Keywords: Studying for LGS, Reason of istakes, learning from mistakes

The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Effect on the Premedical Student

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant restrictions on premedical students trying to meet medical school entrance requirements. Has the pandemic served to inspire or deter pre-medical students from pursuing a career as a physician? To find out, we surveyed members of the Pre-medical Division of the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA). Those respondents note that COVID-19 restricted clinical shadowing and research opportunities, delayed medical school applications, limited accessibility to academic resources, and in some cases, severely impacted mental health. Our findings show that premedical students are determined to become physicians and take on the challenge of providing care even under the demanding conditions of a pandemic.

Comparative analysis of schooling situations using longitudinal data: improving enrollment patterns of individual children in Honduras

PurposeThis longitudinal study aims to understand the circumstances of and changes in student enrollment in Honduras by comparing geographically and socioeconomically different areas and students' year of school entrance.Design/methodology/approachThe sample was made up of 4,043 students from seven primary schools in a regional city and the capital city. Students' enrollment patterns, schooling and trajectories from entrance to departure, whether as a result of graduating or dropping out, were examined.FindingsThe number of students who graduated without repetition increased, and most of the students accessed primary education at the official entrance age. However, grade repetitions and dropouts were observed in the regional city in particular, and differences were also found in the school departure age by region. In the regional city, continuation of schooling after a change in residence has become more common in recent years. Adopting an automatic promotion policy could be one strategy for reducing grade repetitions and dropouts; however, further discussion is required to prepare a remedial opportunity for students who might otherwise lack the minimum proficiency level.Originality/valueFew studies have examined changes in school enrollment in Honduras from a micro perspective. This study contributes a practical approach to exploring educational trends in the region by explaining how students reached their final grades by tracking trajectories, which has not been observed so far in terms of the accumulated average.

The Impact of High School Entrance Examination Competition on Students’ Participation in Extracurricular Tutoring in the Compulsory Education Period: An Empirical Analysis Based on the Data of China Family Panel Studies

We used the Hierarchical Linear Bernoulli Model based on China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) 2016 data and provincial high school acceptance rate data. We explored the relationship between provincial high school entrance examination competition and students’ extracurricular tutoring participation during compulsory education. The study found that the high school acceptance rate and occupational high school acceptance rate have no significant effect on the participation rate of students’ extracurricular tutoring in the compulsory education stage. However, the high school acceptance rate has a significant positive impact on the participation rate of students’ extracurricular tutoring, and there is a heterogeneous effect on the participation rate of students’ extracurricular tutoring from families of different social classes. The higher the high school acceptance rate, the greater the probability of students from families with higher social strata participating in extracurricular tutoring. The demonstration high school acceptance rate has a significant negative impact on students’ extracurricular tutoring participation rate. It has a heterogeneous influence on students’ extracurricular tutoring participation in different school stages and social class families. The education administration department should actively expand high-quality, high school educational resources and increase the demonstration high school acceptance rate. And to increase the number of admissions for the demonstration high school to disadvantaged families with lower social strata to alleviate the pressure of families and students from the high school entrance examination competition. This can not only reduce the participation rate of students’ extracurricular tutoring during the compulsory education stage, but also promote the equalization of high-quality high school entrance opportunities for children of different classes of families.

The effect of high school entrance exam reform on adolescents’ depressive symptoms in Taiwan: A closer look at gender differences

In the current study, we followed motivational theories and investigated whether granting junior high school students one more opportunity to take the high-stakes high school entrance exam alleviates students’ depressive symptoms, and whether the effect is comparable for adolescent boys and girls residing in Taiwan. We analyzed two longitudinal datasets (seventh to tenth grade) from two neighboring cohorts, in which one cohort could take the exam just once (i.e., the pre-reform cohort) and the other twice (i.e., the post-reform cohort). Using a lagged-dependent-variable difference-in-differences model to compare the level of depressive symptoms before and after the entrance exam for the two cohorts, the results revealed that the reform was associated with increases in the level of depressive symptoms for both boys and girls. Despite a higher level of depressive symptoms overall, adolescent girls in the post-reform cohort showed a slower increase in the level of depressive symptoms than boys.
