Acting of the most capable for the mathematical in the test of yield BECOMA: correlation of the results with the psychometric test BADYG-E3

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The international evaluations of yield constitute a relating one fundamental in the practical contemporary evaluative. Their importance resides in that offer references valuable envelope the yield of the students and the acquisition of competitions. It is sought to make an approach to the prevalence of students located in the superior yield levels in these approach tests, relating the results in one of them with those obtained in a psychometric test. Method: In a first moment it is carried out an approach to the results of the most capable in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) for the mathematical competition. Then it is carried out an analysis of the results reached by a sample of students in the Battery of Evaluation of the Mathematical Competition (BECOMA), relating them with those reached in two tests of the Battery of Differential and General Aptitudes (BADyG-E3). Results: Their exhibition is divided in four sections, superior yield in PISA for the mathematical competition, statistical descriptive of the articles that the BECOMA composes, the students' results in the BECOMA in relation to  the BADyG-E3  and the most capable students' results for the Mathematics according to the BECOMA. Conclusions: It is observed that the number of students in the higher yield levels of the BECOMA has been bigger to the one reached by our country in PISA and near to the average of the OECD. On the other hand, it is verified that the BECOMA measures that that has been wanted that it measures, mathematical competition, since high correlation indexes appear with the BADyG-E3.
