The Mediating Effect of Academic Resilience on the Relationship Between Psychological Resilience and Academic Achievement / Psikolojik Sağlamlık ile Akademik Başarı Arasındaki İlişkide Akademik Yılmazlığın Aracı Etkisi

Abstract

It is necessary to examine the factors that affect the academic performance and achievement of the students at school, which is considered as an indicator of the quality of the education system and the goals of the students. Considering the important role of psychological resilience and academic resilience for student achievement, it is important to get an idea of the extent to which these factors affect student achievement. The aim of this study is to examine the mediating effect of academic resilience in mathematics on the relationship between the psychological resilience of secondary school students and the academic achievement of mathematics courses. In the study, the relational screening model was used from quantitative research models. The study group consists of a total of 140 students, 65 girls, and 75 boys, who are studying in the 6th and 7th grades of secondary schools in the İzmit district of Kocaeli province in the 2022-2023 academic year. The Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), Academic Resilience Scale in Mathematics and grade point averages of mathematics courses were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed with SPSS 27 statistical analysis program and the added Process patch. As a result of the research, it was determined that there were positive significant relationships between psychological resilience and academic resilience, psychological resilience and academic achievement, and academic resilience and academic achievement variables. In addition, it was concluded that mathematics had a mediating effect on the relationship between psychological resilience and academic achievement. For a more detailed evaluation of the relations between variables in future research, qualitative studies or mixed design studies in which qualitative and quantitative methods are used together can be done.
