AN INVESTIGATION INTO RELATIVE PERFORMANCES ON A BILINGUAL TEST PAPER IN MECHANICAL MATHEMATICS

Abstract

Bilinoualism and academic achievement in Mechanical Mathematics are examined from two major perspectives: first from the point of view which tends to equate bilingualism with inferior academic achievement: and second, from the standpoint that to test accurately a bilingual child, a bilingual question paper is essential‐‐which has not always been the case in the past. Some recommendations are also offered concerning the format which such a question paper should take. Other major points considered by the investigators concern the reliability of teacher prediction of performance of bilingual and monoglot children, the inclinations of bilingual children towards Welsh or English usage, and the differences in achievement exhibited by bilingual boys and girls in a rural setting.
