Psychology: Research and Review
Table 1 Objectives and hypotheses of the study
From: Early detection of learning difficulties using the BADyG-E2r Battery during primary education
Objectives | Hypotheses (H) | |
|---|---|---|
a | Specify which skills have a greater predictive capacity of a student not repeating grades at the end of primary education | They will be verbal aptitudes (measured by the tests of Verbal Syllogisms and Verbal Reasoning) |
b | Assess whether vocabulary knowledge (Verbal Syllogisms) and the understanding of its different uses (Verbal Reasoning) present a predictive power of academic success for both the instrumental subjects (Language and Mathematics) | They will be the same aptitudes in Verbal Syllogisms and Verbal Reasoning that determine the correct differently dimensioned Language usage |
c | Determine whether the capacity for carrying out Numerical Calculations and Numerical Problem Solving presents a predictive capacity of academic success in the instrumental subjects | It will be decisive when explaining academic success in the instrumental subject of Mathematics |
d | Verify whether the skills in reading and writing, spatial orientation (Spatial Syllogisms), and the understanding and management of planar space (Spatial Reasoning) presents a predictive power of academic success in the instrumental subjects | They will not present a predictive power |
e | Determine whether General Intelligence presents a predictive power of academic success in the instrumental subjects | GI will not be the most powerful aptitudes predicting that academic success |
