Abstract

The aim of the study to determine the level of accuracy in the classification in which the success of reading skill eighth-grade students in elementary acording to variables of gender, the number of books they have in their homes, their time reading lessons, the time they spend reading for pleasure, out of school (teaching purposes) the time they spend reading. Relationship survey method was used to realize this study. The sample of this study consist of 8th grade students from primary education.

The survey of students and student achievement test used to measure the reading skills as a tool of data collection in a part of the PISA 2009. In the research, the dependent variable was categorical structure and so logistic regression analysis technique was used. Five variables were included in the analysis with the purpose of determining variables that used to estimate the possibility of whether they are successful as made of logistic regression analysis, four of these were statistically significant. Students' gender, the number of books in the home, in the classroom and outside of school to leave the time to read the allocatted time varies according to the variables in a meaningful way. The time variable spent only for entertainment purposes haven’t an significantly effect on the likelihood of whether they are successful at reading skills to read.
