Nonoyama-Tarumi, Yuko; Hughes, Kathleen; Willms, J. Douglas – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2015
This article compares the effects of family background and school resources on fourth-grade students' math achievement, using data from the 2011 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). In order to ameliorate potential floor effects, it uses relative risk and population attributable risk to examine the effects of family…
