“…When the direction and magnitude of this relationship was examined, a positive relationship at a moderate level was determined. When relevant literature is reviewed, it is revealed that there is a positive relationship between the students' academic achievement and their state of doing the assignments and their attitudes towards performance assignments (Çelik & Aktürk, 2009, Gedik & Orhan, 2013Gür, 2002;Kumandaş & Kutlu, 2010;Uzoğlu et. al., 2013).…”

“…Performance tasks, one of the alternative assessment and evaluation techniques and used in performance assessment (Öztürk, 2010), are activities which consider students' individual differences and give opportunities to the students to apply the skills and knowledge they have to the problem situations they experience (Arı, 2002;MEB, 2004). Moreover, performance tasks are activities which enable students to use their creativity and make them active participants (Uzoğlu et. al., 2013).…”

The aim of the study is to explore the academic achievement and performance tasks of students studying in a regional primary boarding school in science course with regard to different variables. The study was carried out via survey method and total 96 students, 57 of them boarding students and 39 of them non-boarding students studying in the 5th, 6th, and 7th grades in a regional primary boarding schools, participated in the study. The data of the study was obtained from the academic performance grade point average which the students got from three different exams in Science course and performance grade point average the students got from two different performance assignments (preparing a poster). MANOVA and correlation analysis were used for the statistical analysis of the data which were collected to seek answers for the sub-problems stated within the general framework of the research. The findings revealed that there is not a significant difference between the grade levels and the students' academic achievement scores and performance scores in science course, whereas a significant difference was found between the gender variable and performance scores, which was in favour of females. This result suggests that female students were more successful than male students when compared to performance assignments. Moreover, a meaningful difference was detected in favour of non-boarding students with regard to their academic achievement in science course and their grades in performance assignments. Finally, it was found that there was a moderate positive correlation between the students' academic achievement scores in science course and performance scores in performance assignments.
