Hascoët, Marine; Giaconi, Valentina; Jamain, Ludivine – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Family socioeconomic status (SES) has a significant influence on children's academic success and is related to parents' attitudes toward education. Moreover, according to the expectancy-value theory, parental expectations are linked to their children's perceptions of school, which, in turn, influences the way their children invest themselves in…

Baker, Bruce D.; Weber, Mark; Srikanth, Ajay – Journal of Education Finance, 2021
This article explains the process behind estimating a National Education Cost Model (NECM) and generating from that model projections of per-pupil costs to achieve 2016 national average outcomes (reading and math grades 3 to 8) across all districts in the United States, from 2019-20 to 2020-21. This article is a follow-up to a preliminary report…

Lewis, Karyn; Kuhfeld, Megan; Langi, Meredith; Peters, Scott; Fahle, Erin – Center for School and Student Progress at NWEA, 2022
In this brief we examine how variability in students' math and reading test scores changed across the pandemic, including whether increased dispersion was concentrated at one part of the test score distribution. Using reading and math assessment data from a sample of 8 million students in grades 3-8 in 24,000 public schools who took MAP Growth…

Fujita, Taro; Kondo, Yutaka; Kumakura, Hiroyuki; Kunimune, Susumu; Jones, Keith – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2020
Given the important role played by students' spatial reasoning skills, in this paper we analyse how students use these skills to solve problems involving 2D representations of 3D geometrical shapes. Using data from in total 1357 grades 4 to 9 students, we examine how they visualise shapes in the given diagrams and make use of properties of shapes…

Santana, Macarena; Cabezas, Verónica; Nussbaum, Miguel; Cabello-Hutt, Tania; Claro, Magdalena; Maldonado, Luis – Elementary School Journal, 2020
Although prior knowledge is an important predictor of future performance in mathematics, few studies have analyzed which areas of the subject are most critical. Most evidence is based on small- and medium-scale studies from developed countries, with results that cannot be generalized. We explore which areas of mathematics are the most important…
