Criticizing from different perspectives of PISA mathematical literacy questions

The aim of this study is to examine the scores obtained from the PISA mathematical literacy test according to different variables, to assign levels according to the item difficulty index, to criticize the cases of incorrect resolution of the questions and to create an indicator table for the levels. In line with the purpose of the research, the scanning method was used. The sample of the research consists of 1440 high school students studying in various high schools throughout Turkey and 201 mathematics teachers working in various secondary schools and high schools throughout Turkey. As a result of the findings obtained from the students in the study, it was concluded that the students gathered at the 4th and 5th levels, that the mathematical literacy levels of male students are better than the female students, that science high schools are the most successful schools, that the Mediterranean region is the most successful region, that the students studying in the preparatory class are the most successful group, and that 81-90 and 91-100 mathematics report card scores were the most successful. In addition, it was determined that students often had problems in understanding what they read and made operational errors. When the questions were analyzed according to the item difficulty index, it was seen that there were differences between the levels given to the questions by PISA and the levels found. It was determined that the teachers found the proficiency level table to be understandable, but they had difficulties in assigning a level to the questions. The language of the dashboard, which was created in line with the data obtained from the students and teachers, has been simplified and examples of the competencies that can be done at the levels are given. The research was concluded by presenting suggestions to the researchers who will conduct research in this field. Keywords: Dashboard, Error Analysis, Mathematical Literacy, Proficiency Level Chart
