만15세 한국 학생의 수학적 소양 관련 배경 변수들의 효과 추정

The present study investigated the effects of school and student background variables on academic achievement through analyzing Korean data from the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA) which had been administered in 2000. The regression analysis was used to analyze the data, responses of 2,769 students(1,545 boys and 1,221 girls). Results of regression analysis were that 5.5% of process variables was accounted for by student variables and 0.3% of process variables was accounted for by school variables. So we try to find many other process variables which effect math achievements.
