Abstract:

The purpose of this study, 8th grade school students to investigate the relationship between course achievement scores and test scores. To this end, in the 8th grade SBS sub-test raw scores and course achievement scores were examined by multivariate canonical correlation analysis. In this study, the first set of variables is sub-test scores, the second variables is course achievement scores. Before analysis, the data were examined compliance with the assumptions of canonical correlation analysis method and adversely affect the correlation between variables not included in the analysis outliers. According to the results of a canonical correlation was significant only between two sets of variables. This case provides evidence for the fact that scores concerning some of the courses were not sufficiently consistent with SBS sub-test scores as expected.
