Correlation between the Success in Mathematics and Language among Pupils of Primary School

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyse the correlation between the success in mathematics and language of 140 pupils of third and fourth grades of primary schools in Pristina. The results of the research have shown that there is a low correlation between the variables which test mathematics and language skills and those that deal with the success at school in a respective subject. Based on complete data obtained from this research, it can be concluded that the success of pupils in primary schools, in general, has been over-rated due to the lack of objective assessment by teachers. It is recommended that, in the future, the success of pupils in the subject of mathematics should be assessed with objective tests, in order to increasing their success in natural sciences during their further education.
