Özet

In this research, the relationship between written exam scores of science and technology class of 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, project, participation in class activities and performance work, year-end academic success point averages and sub-test raw scores of LOT science of 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Academic success point averages were used as independent variable; raw scores of LOT Science were used as dependent variable in the study. The participants of the research were 1060 including 6th, 7th and 8th grade students who attended to four primary schools in the town called Kepez in Antalya and took the LOT Examination. The relationships between dependent and independent variables were examined through multiple regression analysis. According to the results, the independent variables at the level of 6th grade explains approximately % 43 of the total variance in the dependent variable, at the level of 7th grade explains % 53 and at the level of 8th grade explains %49. It was concluded for independent variables of grade 6 and 8 that dependent variable explained only the variable of "written exam" significantly, all variables of grade 7 independent variables explained all variables other than "project" variable significantly.
