“…Moreover, the authors recognized the use of nonrepresentative samples of their study. On the other hand, the mean IQ of 84 for Peru means that the low school performance of Peruvian students in the PISA exams is not very surprising if the positive association between IQ and school performance at national level is considered (around r = .85-.86, according to Rindermann, 2007; r = .94 corrected for attenuation according to Lynn & Mikk, 2009). However, there is the possibility of mobility.…”

“…Female students' reading comprehension may generally exceed that of their male counterparts (Bray & Barron, 2003;Broom & Jewson, 2013;Janse van Rensburg et al, 2014), although some association between gender and age has been suggested. Females demonstrate better reading comprehension as children or adolescents (Logan & Johnston, 2010;Lynn & Mikk, 2009), while gender differences in reading comprehension for adults appear less pronounced (Hannon, 2014;Hyde & Linn, 1988). …”

This study explores differences in students' reading comprehension of International Financial Reporting Standards in a South African financial reporting class with a heterogeneous student cohort. Statistically significant differences were identified for prior academic performance, language of instruction, first language and enrolment in the Thuthuka programme. Where students, in a heterogeneous financial reporting class, require additional interventions to develop their reading comprehension, instructors may need to consider implementing differentiated instruction. Although this study considers South African students, the results may be of interest in other multicultural or multilingual environments, particularly where students also have diverse traits and backgrounds and have to comprehend learning material in a second language.

“…PISA is an international assessment that surveys mathematic ability, science ability, and reading comprehension of 15 year old students throughout the world. The three scores were averaged to create the cognitive ability composite (see Lynn &Meisenberg, 2010 andLynn &Mikk, 2009, for explanations on the use of PISA data as a proxy for intelligence). State-level scores were obtained from Mexico's Secretaría de Educación Pública [Secretary of Public Education] (2013) website.…”
