Do birth order, family size and gender affect arithmetic achievement in elementary school?

Abstract: ResumenIntroducción. Durante décadas el orden de nacimiento y las diferencias de género han atraído la atención de la investigación.Método. El orden de nacimiento, el tamaño de la familia y género, y la relación con el rendimiento aritmético es estudiada en 1152 alumnos de educación elemental (540 niñas, 612 niños) en Flanders. Los niños fueron seleccionados atendiendo al estatus socioeconómico de los padres y se les administró un test de cálculo mental y conocimiento de números.Resultados. Los hallazgos favor… Show more

“…Answering the first research question and looking at the antecedent factors, in line with some previous studies (Baten & Desoete, 2018;Desoete, 2008), but in contrast with other studies on birth weight (Breslau et al, 2004;Chatterji et al, 2014;De Rodrigues et al, 2006;Klein et al, 1989) and birth order (Belmont & Marolla, 1973;Cheng et al, 2012;Hotz et al, 2015;Zajonc & Markus, 1975) these antecendent factors could not significant explain variance in fact retrieval or calculation accuracy in our sample. However gender as antecendent factor, attributed to the variance in both math components.…”

“…Birth order seems to predict learning as well. In some studies, children who were born first, perform better in academic contexts (Belmont & Marolla, 1973;Cheng et al, 2012;Zajonc & Markus, 1975), although this was not the case in all samples (e.g., Desoete, 2008). The advantage of firstborn children has been explained by the dilution hypothesis in which the first born child takes advantage of more parental resources (at least for the time the child is only child), compared to later born children who had to share these resources (Hotz & Pantano, 2015).…”
