| description | Monitoring the quality of educational system to ensure the quality of students' learning is one of the main responsibilities of educational systems and it has been considered as one of the indicators of the quality of education. In this regard, assessing students' learning in mathematics - as one of the key subjects - has significant importance. In this study, to assess the quality of students’ mathematics learning in the final grade of primary school, a sample of 9720 sixth grade students in Tehran City was selected using stratified two-stage cluster sampling method. 264 math questions were distributed among students using matrix sampling. The results showed that the mean score of the sixth-grade students was 463, which is lower than the mean of the scale (500). Also, females outperformed the males. The comparison of different types of schools showed that public school students had performed weaker than students in the other types of schools, however, the difference in the students’ performance among the other types of schools was not significant. In addition, there was a significant difference between the mean of students’ performance in different educational districts: the best performance was seen in the districts 3, 2, 5 and 6 and the weakest performance was seen in the districts 19, 15 and 18. The observed differences were even noticed between the public schools and the schools with board of trustees too. |
