LEMMA - The role of Language in Early MatheMatical Achievement KU Leuven
Mathematics has always been a central curricular domain in elementary and secondary education worldwide. In the preschool years, the focus is mostly on very basic numerical abilities (the counting words, identifying or comparing numerosities), and in the first years of primary school this is further systematized in the form of simple arithmetic. Recent studies, however, have shown that children are already able to reason about more complex ...
LEMMA - The role of Language in early MatheMatical Achievement KU Leuven
Recent research has shown that mathematical abilities are not only associated with general vocabulary knowledge, but also with specific vocabulary knowledge about the relevant mathematical domain. In this research project, we want to investigate the relation between general and domain specific language abilities on the one hand and mathematical abilities on the other hand. We do this at a moment where we can expect large interindividual ...
School composition effect on achievement and self-concept of pupils in Bunia and Kisangani in DR Congo KU Leuven
In this study, we examine the composition effect of school on the achievement of schoolchildren in cognitive and non-cognitive field. To do so, we used data from the Service de Planification et d'Evaluation en Education of the University of Kisangani. In analyzing the data, we found that in reading, 59.48% of the variance in performance was at the student level, 11.44% at the class level and 29.09% at the school level. In mathematics, 68.87% ...
