Variation in mathematics performance

This analysis explores the factors affecting variation in mathematics performance across schools, highlighting differences both within and between institutions. It draws on OECD data (2004) to illustrate how socio-economic status (SES) significantly influences student achievement, with notable disparities observed in countries like Korea, Germany, and Japan. The findings reveal that a substantial 66% of performance variation is attributable to students' socio-economic backgrounds, impacting their educational experiences and outcomes. Understanding these dynamics is essential for addressing educational inequalities.

  1. Variation in mathematics performance Variation of performance within schools In some countries (including high quality ones), schools are similar. In some, most of the variation lies between schools. Variation of performance between schools OECD (2004), Learning for tomorrow’s world, Table 4.1a, p.383.

  2. Variation in mathematics performance Variation of performance within schools Variation of performance between schools Variation explained by socio-economic level of students and schools (66% for Korea) OECD (2004), Learning for tomorrow’s world, Table 4.1a, p.383.

  3. Countries differ in relationship between student grouping and social background:Mathematics (PISA 2003)
