Sources of individual differences in fraction skills

Article Abstract:

The pathways through which characteristics of children affect the individual differences often seen in fraction outcomes are examined. The importance of distinguishing between the differences in cognitive, behavioral and mathematical knowledge variances in fraction performance in order to form a theory of fraction skills performance is emphasized.

Changing models across cultures: Associations of phonological awareness and morphological structure awareness with vocabulary and word recognition in second graders from Beijing, Hong Kong, Korea, and the United States

Article Abstract:

Hundred second graders from Beijing, Hong Kong, Korea, and the US, were studied to investigate relation among phonological awareness, morphological structure awareness, vocabulary, and word recognition. The results indicated that across languages, phonological awareness and morphological structure awareness were similarly associated with one other and with vocabulary knowledge, phonological awareness and morphological structure awareness had different associations with word recognition in different scripts.
