20.500.12556/DiRROS-21322 Is the order of learning numerals universal? evidence from eight countries and six languages Cramman et al. (2018) proposed that numerical symbol identification may constitute a universally predictive measure of early mathematical development. While a broad pathway to learning number symbols is unsurprising, lack of systematic variation in acquisition order relative to factors such as teaching, age, country, progression stage, is. This study evidences unidimensionality of measurement of the order of ability clusters of numbers, showing that variations are minor across eight countries and, importantly, six instructional languages. This invariance suggests early symbol identification could represent a universal measurement which could a) instructionally inform teaching and learning of classroom mathematics, b) work predictively as an educational research tool and c) offer a foundation for valid international comparisons of the mathematical development of children. Tentatively, this study suggests numerical symbol identification may be a universal measure to assess mathematical cognition in early years education that is unaffected by language of instruction, gender, time of assessment and country. education financial relationship numeracy mathematical development numerical symbol learning numerals international comparison vzgoja in izobraževanje matematični razvoj numerični matematični razvoj numerični simboli učenje števnikov mednarodne primerjave true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-01-27 08:34:01 2025-01-27 08:34:01 2025-01-28 03:53:55 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 5. 12. 2023; Available online: 21. 11. 2023; Article 101391; Str. 1-17 art. 101391 Vol. 69 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 37.015 1879-226X 10.1016/j.cogdev.2023.101391 174860291 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0885201423000965 1 14b6ef63-dc81-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=30316 Copping_et_al_2024.pdf Copping_et_al_2024.pdf 1 60286A982C57295F147F5FC98CC5FD68 9ae4ec54e1607912b5d2de75940439ab48777e6999c3c87aaa608a97619b642e 440ed7a9-dc81-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=30317 Pedagoški inštitut 0 0 0
