Components of reading comprehension and scholastic achievement

The aim of this study was to understand whether the reading comprehension process is better explained by a single or by multiple factors. 184 students (9 to 13 years old) were presented with a recently devised battery of tests, that measure ten aspects of reading comprehension. Structural equation modelling showed that a two factors model better accounts for the data compared to a one or a three factors model. Results confirmed the hypothesis which distinguishes between ‘basic’ and ‘complex’ aspects of reading comprehension. The second goal of the study was to analyze the relationship between the two-components model and scholastic achievement. Our results highlighted that the more ‘complex’ aspects of reading comprehension, reflecting some metacognitive knowledge and control processes, are the better predictors of scholastic achievement.

Grade repetition in Honduran primary schools

This paper looks at several dimensions of the grade failure issue in Honduras using a unique data set compiled by the UMCE evaluation project in 1998 and 1999. The analytical framework incorporates econometric analysis of standardized tests and teacher pass/fail decisions for roughly 13,000 second and fourth grade students. The results show that first time grade repetition, as well as repeating previous grades, is associated with lower marginal achievement on the UMCE exams, although the same is not true for students who are repeating the second or third time. The strongest predictor of grade failure is previous repetition, despite the inclusion of controls for achievement and attendance. The implications of this apparently strong stigma effect associated with grade repetition are discussed, as well as other policy issues related to grade repetition in developing countries.
