| Abstract [eng] |
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the factors that affect academic achievement among students in Lithuania using data from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018. Multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) is employed to analyze the impact of student and school level characteristics on academic achievement. The results obtained at the student level highlight the significance of factors such as parental support, bullying experiences, language spoken at home, and socioeconomic status. Self-efficacy is identified as a mediating factor affecting academic achievement. At the school level, factors such as school type, size, student-teacher ratio, and school socioeconomic status are found to have a significant impact on the average student's academic performance. The findings, attempts at alternative models, and prospects for future study are further discussed. |
