| Subgroup Analysis: |
Year 4  |
||
Year 8  |
| Commentary: |
| Students at year 8 were substantially more successful at describing and discussing a pendant in the shape of a fish hook than were year 4 students. Students at neither year were particularly good at explaining how the pendant was made. Most students at both years understood that it might likely be worn by a person of Mäori or Polynesian background. Boys were slightly more successful at this task than girls at both year 4 and year 8. Pasifika students had more trouble with the task than Pakeha or Mäori students at both years. Performance in 2007 was quite similar to performance in 2003. |
