Abstract :This study aimed to explore the relationship between internal assessment insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IA); and external assessment insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EA); scores of the high school students in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IBDP);. Methods: Simple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore to what extent the IA scores predict the EA scores in the Turkish, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics courses. Findings: The quantitative analysis revealed that only a small percentage of the variation in IBDP EA scores can be explained by the model containing only IA scores in the IBDP standard level insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SL); and high level insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HL); courses. Furthermore, the correlation coefficient was utilized to explain the degree to which the IA scores are associated with the EA scores. This analysis revealed that there is a moderate relationship between IA and EA in HL English and SL biology course, but a weak relationship between IA and EA in SL and HL biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, English insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(only SL); and Turkish courses. Value: This research highlights some important implications for educators about the consistency and reliability of IA as a tool for forming a final mark in the IBDP assessment and the role the IA plays in predicting the students’ general academic achievement.
