Özet:

 This study examines the effect of capital differences, which are one of the important problems of educational sociology and lead to inequality of opportunity, on academic achievement and aims to analyze the extent to which school attitude mediates this relationship. Bourdieu argues that the field of education, through the institution of school, reproduces inequalities, and he approaches the concept of capital in this context. According to Bourdieu, the levels of capital possessed closely affect students academic achievement, and in this case, students with low levels of capital have lower success rates compared to students with high levels of capital. Based on these ideas of Bourdieu, the study reveals the relationship between capital levels and academic achievement and measures the mediating role of school attitude. To explore these relationships, a face-to-face survey was conducted with 548 students actively studying in nine high schools in Uşak city in Turkiye. The findings obtained were subjected to various analyzes using IBM SPSS 25 and AMOS 24. The results of the study showed that the capital levels of the students had a positive effect on academic achievement, and the mediation analysis also showed that school attitude partially mediated the relationship between these two variables.

 Bu çalışma eğitim sosyolojisinin önemli sorunlarından biri olan fırsat eşitsizliğine yol açan sermaye farklılıklarının, akademik başarıya etkisini incelmekte ve bu ilişkiye okula ilişkin tutumun ne ölçüde arabuluculuk ettiğini analiz etmeyi amaçlamıştır. Pierre Bourdieu eğitim alanının, okul kurumu aracılığıyla eşitsizlikleri yeniden ürettiğinden bahsetmekte ve sermayeler kavramını bu minvalde ele almaktadır. Bourdieuya göre sahip olunan sermaye seviyeleri öğrencilerin akademik başarılarını yakından etkiler ve bu durumda düşük sermaye seviyelerine sahip olan öğrencilerin, yüksek sermayelere sahip olan öğrencilere kıyasla başarı oranları daha azdır. Yapılan çalışmada Bourdieunun bahsedilen bu düşüncelerini temele alarak, sermaye seviyeleri ve akademik başarı arasındaki ilişki ortaya çıkarılmış ve okul tutumunun arabuluculuk rolü ölçülmüştür. Bu ilişkileri keşfetmek için Uşak ilinde bulunan dokuz adet lise içerisinde aktif öğrenim görmekte olan 548 öğrenciyle yüz yüze anket uygulaması yapılarak sermaye seviyeleri, akademik başarıları ve okula ilişkin tutumları ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen bulgular IBM SPSS 25 ve AMOS 24 ile çeşitli analizlere tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırmanın sonucunda; öğrencilerin sahip oldukları sermaye seviyelerinin akademik başarıya pozitif etkisi bulunmuş ve yapılan arabuluculuk mediation analizi ile de okul tutumunun bu ikili arasındaki ilişkiye kısmi arabuluculuk ettiği saptanmıştır.
