Mathematics achievement and interest in mathematics from a differential perspective

In this article, we present results of an empirical study with 500 German students of grades 7 and 8. The study focussed on students’ mathematics achievement and their interest in mathematics as well as on the relation between these two constructs. In particular, the results show that the development of an individual student’s achievement between grade 7 and grade 8 depends on the achievement l...

Relations Between Videogame Play and 8th-Graders' Mathematics Achievement

Videogames today enjoy unprecedented popularity , and the influence of videogames is enormous: websites, blogs, apparel, toys, and stores are dedicated to them (Kietzmann, 2007).

Relationship Between Mathematics and Science Achievement at the 8th Grade

Mathematics and science achievements have been assessed in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and its repetition (TIMSS-R). Most existing reports are largely separated into the subject domains. This article is focused on an examination of the relationship between mathematics and science achievements based on student test scores. Moderate correlation coefficients have ...

Educational-teaching Practices and Achievement Timss – Mathematics

This paper examines the IEA’s Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) data for Greece and more specifically POP2 (8th grade). The paper focuses on the teacher’s educational-teaching practices in the classrooms and analyses these with factor analysis. We also investigate the relationship between teaching practices and student achievement with regression analysis. Educational / ...
