Which Factors Served to Determine the Marks Given by Mathematics Teachers in 2011

Summary/Abstract: In mathematics marks, three distinct but interconnected elements have been identified at grade 6 in primary schools. One is a student’s competency/knowledge based on government assessment; the second is the degree to which students adopt a school’s values, in other words, their attitude, diligence and general educational advancement levels; and, thirdly, there is the student’s social status, namely family circumstances, and gender. The model here reveals that mathematics marks are influenced by two different factors: firstly, there is the student’s overall level of academic advancement, which includes diligence - with this being the dominant factor, and which essentially favours girl students; secondly,the other way to understand maths marks is to depart from the social status of a student and take into account reading comprehension and knowledge of mathematics.The author demonstrates that among students performing at the same level, teachers tend to give better marks to girl students and to students who have a more favourable social status.
