Abstract (2. Language): 
This study analyzes and predicts the academic progress of vocational school of social sciences students in quantitative courses in order to improve student progress in education. A population of 232 students taking commercial mathematics and statistics courses in 2014/2015 academic year is selected. The academic progress of students are estimated by using final examination scores extracted from OGRIS student otomation system of Nigde University. Academic progress is classified with respect to the mean test score as “greater”, “stable” and “lower”. Chi-square test is used for statistical analysis and predictions are estimated by one step stochastic Markov chain model. Direction of academic progress is predicted by the product of the initial probability matrix and transition probability matrix. In 2028-2029 academic year, the probabilities of improvement, no change and decline become stable approximately at 28%, 20% and 52%, respectively. The results are discussed and interpreted.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma eğitimde akademik durumu geliştirmek için sosyal bilimler meslek yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin sayısal derslerdeki akademik statüsünü analiz eder ve Markov modeli ile tahmin eder. 2014/2015 öğretim yılında ticari matematik ve istatistik derslerini alan 232 öğrencinin hepsi seçilmiştir. Niğde Üniversitesi OGRIS otomasyon sisteminden elde edilen final sınavı notları kullanılarak öğrencilerin akademik statüsü tahmin edilmiştir. Akademik statü daha yüksek, durağan ve daha düşük olarak sınav ortalamalarına göre sınıflandırılmıştır. İstatistik analizi için ki kare testi ve tahminleme için de Markov zinciri modeli kullanılmıştır. Akademik statünün yönü başlangıç olasılık matrisinin geçiş matrisi ile çarpımı sonucunda tahmin edilmiştir. 2028-2029 akademik yılında gelişme, durağan ve düşüş olasılıkları yaklaşık olarak sırasyla 28%, 20% and 52% tahmin edilmiştir. Sonuçlar tartışılmış ve yorumlanmıştır.
