Also, two-level Hierarchical Linear Modelling insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HLM); analysis was used to add school-level analysis. According to the results, it can be said that student-level ICT variables explain approximately 20% of the total variance in science success of students. The positive determinants are ICT resources, subject-related ICT use during lessons, and perceived ICT competence. The negative determinants are the use of ICT at school in general, ICT use as social interaction, and ICT use outside of school.
