In this study, using Radial Based Artificial Neural Networks (RBANN)
method, one of the methods of data mining, it is aimed to determine the factors
affecting PISA 2015 Mathematics literacy. Mathematics literacy scores, which
were made in categorical form with three level dependent variables, and 25
independent variables, considered to have affected the dependent variables,
were used in the study. Also, in order to determine factors affecting PISA 2015
Mathematics literacy, information obtained from a total of 4422 students, 2165
(49%) of whom were males and 2257 (51%) of whom were females, participating in
the exam was used in this study. According to the results of the study, the
correct classification rate of mathematics achievement in the radial based
artificial neural network model was found to be 85.2%. In addition, it is seen
that the most important factor affecting Mathematics literacy was Turkish
language success status, and that the other variables setting significance,
respectively, are targeted point in school life, father education level and
mother education level.
