Students tests showed that male and female, as well as language groups' scores, differed significantly. Stepwise non-linear regression shows that a combination of factors contributes significantly to learner, science and mathematics performance (R2 = 25%, 20%, and 11%, respectively).896372 bytesapplication/pdfenEducation Association of South Africa (EASA)Science educationMathematics educationSchoolsArticle
