Özet

The purpose of this research is to determine whether student oriented teaching, experience oriented teaching, teacher support and the dass size predict the usage of formative assessment in mathematics. This study is designed as a predictive research that falls in the correlational survey model, one of the general survey models. The sample of the study consists of PISA 2012 Turkey data (4848 students). The data were obtained from the students and school questionnaires used within the scope of PISA 2012. The data were analyzed by using ordinal logistic regression analysis. The variables of the study consist of two group (predicted and predictor) variables. The predicted variable is formative assessment use and the predictor variables are student oriented teaching, experience oriented teaching, teacher support and the class size, respectively. This study has proved that while the variables "student oriented teaching" and "teacher support" are significant predictors of how much formative assessment is used, the variables "experience oriented teaching" and "class size" are not significant predictors of how much formative assessment is used. Nevertheless, the logistic regression model designed proved to be meaningful as a whole. The rate of the classification accuracy of the model is 58%.
