dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study is to examine the mathematics skills of fourth-grade children from
Kosovo in relation to their background characteristics. Seventy-six children, out of 233
tested, who were identified with learning difficulties in mathematics were further
assessed during fifth and sixth grades, in mathematics skills and reading comprehension.
The findings showed that there were no gender differences in mathematics achievement,
whereas children’s urban or rural locations as well as their socio-economic status were
observed to have a substantial impact on mathematics performance of children in the
main sample, but not for those in the subsample. For children with learning difficulties in
mathematics, the initial level of reading skills was a powerful determinant of their later
mathematics performance and the initial level of mathematics skills was also similarly
predictive of reading comprehension. The children’s background characteristics did not
add explanatory variance in performance outcomes over their previous mathematics and
reading skills learned during the first years of primary school. The high association
between mathematics performance and reading comprehension suggests that
mathematics and reading problems may result from a similar cognitive background. | fi |
