It is demonstrated that weight discrepancy…

Disparities in educational outcomes exist between students in rural areas as compared to students in urban settings. While there is some evidence that these rural disparities are present in eastern Europe, little is known about young peoples' lives in the rural areas of this region. This paper presents an analysis of science achievement by…

Solheim, Oddny Judith – Reading Psychology, 2011
It has been hypothesized that students with low self-efficacy will struggle with complex reading tasks in assessment situations. In this study we examined whether perceived reading self-efficacy and reading task value uniquely predicted reading comprehension scores in two different item formats in a sample of fifth-grade students. Results showed…

Meadows, Sara; Herrick, David; Feiler, Anthony – British Educational Research Journal, 2007
The aim of the UK National Literacy Strategy is to raise standards in literacy.

An opportunistic analysis of data…
