The study has been conducted in three stages. In the first stage, through document analysis, the spaces that must be present in Regional Primary Boarding Schools (RPBS) and in what indoor and outdoor spaces the students spend most of their time have been determined. In the second stage, the instrument of "Physical/spatial conditions satisfaction questionnaire" has been applied to the universe of the study. Data has been analyzed with the chi-square technique in SPSS16.0 package program and the general problems of the physical/spatial conditions pertaining to RPBSs and in what RPBSs these problems have been observed more have been determined. In the third stage, "focus group interviews" and "mechanical observations" concerning the reasons of the specified problems have been performed in determined RPBSs. Data analysis has been performed with the QSR Nvivo 8 program. Satisfaction/dissatisfaction levels of the students of RPBS concerning physical/spatial conditions and the reasons of the related problems have been determined. Suggestions have been offered to prepare more effective educational environments.

The purpose of this study is to provide concrete measures for researchers working on determining SES. In this study, cluster analysis was used to determine the variables affecting SES. Cluster analysis is a multivariate technique in which observations and variables are divided into groups according to their characteristics. A total of 594 preparatory class students from Ankara University and Yildirim Beyazit University participated in the study. The results of the cluster analyses with these five variables - family's average monthly income, mother's education level, father's education level, parents' frequency of participation in social activities and the total number of books purchased in a year - yielded that the participants among themselves showed homogeneity. Based on the literature review, the findings of...

amaçlanmıştır. Genel tarama modellerinden ilişkisel tarama modelinin kullanıldığı araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 2013-2014 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar döneminde, Ankara İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı 7 lisenin 9, 10 ve 11. sınıfında eğitim gören ve uygun örnekleme ile seçilen 705 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Veriler, Wang, Bergin ve Bergin (2014) tarafından geliştirilen ve Sever (2014) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan “Derse Katılım Envanteri” ile Alıcı (2013) tarafından geliştirilen “Okula Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, “Kruskal Wallis Testi,
Mann Whitney U Testi ve Spearman Brown Sıra Fakları
Korelasyon Katsayısı, Lojistik Regresyon ve Kümeleme Analizi” ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, kadın öğrencilerin erkeklere göre derse katılımlarının daha yüksek olduğu; kendini başarılı gören öğrencilerin derse katıldığı, başarısız gören öğrencilerin ise katılmadığı; derse katılımla okula yönelik tutum arasında farklı düzeylerde ve yönlerde anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu; öğrencilerin Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı dersine katılma, matematik dersine ise katılmama eğiliminde olduğu ve kadın öğrencilerin kendini derslerde başarılı görmeleri ve okulu kişisel gelişimi için engel görmeyip destek olarak görmeleri durumunda derse katılımlarının artabileceği belirlenmiştir.

engagement levels of high school students are affected by some variables. It is designed as a descriptive study (Relational Screening Model). The sample of the research was constituted of 705 students attending 9th, 10th and 11th grades in 7 state high schools located at Ankara. Data were conducted through Classroom Engagement Inventory developed by Wang, Bergin and Bergin (2014) and adapted into Turkish by Sever (2014), as well as Attitudes Towards School Scale developed by Alıcı (2013). Data obtained from the study were analyzed through Kruskal Wallis Test, Mann Whitney U Test, Spearmen Rank Correlation Coefficient, Logistic Regression and Cluster Analysis. Research found out that classroom engagement of girls are higher than boys; there is a significant correlation between school attitudes and classroom engagement at different levels and towards different directions; students tend to engage with Turkish language and literature class while they show lesser tendency towards engaging with math classes; when girls perceive themselves as successful and see school as an important support for their personal development, their
classroom engagement level tend to go higher.
