Kosovar Students' Performance in the 2019 TIMSS Assessment: Why School and Home Resources Drive Achievement?
Shala, Arif; Grajcevci, Albulene
International Journal of Educational Reform, v32 n3 p357-368 Jul 2023
Results of the TIMSS 2019 reveal that Kosovar students have lower achievement levels in both mathematics and science. In understanding this gap in achievement, it is of value to take a closer look at factors that may influence student learning. Results of this analysis reveal that factors such as home and school resources influence achievement with students who report more home resources and attend high-resource schools outperforming other groups of students. Student perceptions of their learning also shaped achievement with students performing higher when they had higher levels of confidence and preference for the subjects.
