Paz-Baruch, Nurit; Leikin, M.; Leikin, R. – Gifted and Talented International, 2022
Mathematical giftedness (MG) is an intriguing phenomenon, the nature of which has yet to be sufficiently explored. This study goes a step further in understanding how MG is related to expertise in mathematics (EM) and general giftedness (G). Cognitive testing was conducted among 197 high school students with different levels of G and of EM. Based…

Tee, Kiew Nee; Leong, Kwan Eu; Rahim, Suzieleez Syrene Abdul – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2019
This study aimed at exploring causal relationships between two affective factors, self-confidence and positive emotion, and two metacognitive factors, selfreflection and insight components on high school students' mathematics achievement that assessed by formative and summative assessments. The study applied partial least squares based structural…

Kyaruzi, Florence; Strijbos, Jan-Willem; Ufer, Stefan; Brown, Gavin T. L. – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2019
This study investigates the impact of secondary school students' perceptions of mathematics teachers' formative assessment practices and feedback delivery on their feedback use, and mathematics performance. The sample consisted of 2767 Form 3 (Grade 11) students from 48 secondary schools in Tanzania. Surveys and focus group discussions were used…

Zhang, Zhiyong; Lai, Keke; Lu, Zhenqiu; Tong, Xin – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Despite the widespread popularity of growth curve analysis, few studies have investigated robust growth curve models. In this article, the "t" distribution is applied to model heavy-tailed data and contaminated normal data with outliers for growth curve analysis. The derived robust growth curve models are estimated through Bayesian…

Ma, X.; Xu, Jiangming – Journal of Adolescence, 2004
Using data from the Longitudinal Study of American Youth (LSAY), we aimed to determine the causal ordering between mathematics anxiety and mathematics achievement. Results of structural equation modelling showed that, across the entire junior and senior high school, prior low mathematics achievement significantly related to later high mathematics…

Silverthorn, Naida; DuBois, David L.; Crombie, Gail – Journal of Experimental Education, 2005
The authors investigated the relationship between self-perceptions of ability and achievement in math, science, and English from Grades 8 to 11 (N = 342). A state-trait model that included an association between stable (i.e., trait-like) components of self-perceptions and achievement as well as time-specific (i.e., state-like) effects during the…
