| Subgroup Analysis: |
Year 4  |
||
Year 8  |
| Commentary: |
| Students were fairly successful in responding to this work of art. They were able to express their reactions to the painting and why they had those reactions. There was substantial growth in these abilities from year 4 to year 8. Gender differences were fairly small on this task, but Pasifika and Mäori students did not express themselves as extensively as Pakeha students at year 4. There was moderate improvement on this task in 2007 from 2003 for year 8 students. |
