Grade 12 Math Achievement Predictors by Study Level

409 twelfth-grade students across low, medium, and high study levels were assessed on executive functions and math self-efficacy. The dataset supports findings that predictive components of executive function differ by academic level, with behavioral regulation key for high-level students and metacognitive skills for low-level students. Author Yechiel Tanami published this analysis in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Predict math_achievement scores using metacognitive_EFs features like working_memory and planning_organizing for low study level students.
• Model the mediating role of math_self_efficacy between behavioral_regulation_EFs like response_inhibition and math_achievement for high study level groups.
• Compare path_analysis coefficients for executive_function components across the three study_level groups to identify differential predictive patterns.
• Train classifiers to assign students to study_level groups based on their BRIEF-SR and MSE measure profiles.
• Analyze the structural_equation_modeling results showing no mediation effect for the low study level group versus significant effects in other groups.

Strengths

• Data from 409 participants provides a substantive sample for group-level analysis.
• Clear methodological structure using validated instruments (BRIEF-SR, MSE measure) and SEM.
• Findings are disaggregated across three distinct study_level groups, enabling comparative analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 20.6 KB, likely containing only summary results, not raw individual-level data.
• Sample is limited to 12th-grade students from an unspecified location, limiting generalizability.
• Temporal coverage and specific data collection timeframe are not provided.
