Tests and questionnaires were used to collect data from a sample of 418 students (206 boys and 212 girls) from Grade 6 in five primary schools in Kingston, Jamaica. Results of the data analysis revealed that: 1) mental ability, achievement in reading, and family size were the best predictors of achievement in mathematics; 2) field dependence, conceptual style preference, mental ability, reading achievement, family size, gender, occupational level, and birth order were significantly related to achievement in mathematics; and 3) mental ability, reading achievement, and occupational level were significantly correlated with cognitive style 2022-01-18T18:04:29Z 2022-01-18T18:04:29Z 1978 Ph.D. 865 http://hdl.handle.net/2139/52965 Main Library, UWISA - UWI Theses Collection |
