“…At college, a correlation between gender and performance in accounting is also of interest from such a perspective. Results from the field of accounting indicate that or there is no significant relationship between gender and cumulative average grade (Shaban et al, 2015) or that female students perform better in accounting (Syukur, 2021).…”

The paper highlights the importance and relevance of introducing economic studies to primary schools. The research aimed to investigate the appropriate age, environment, type, and composition of presentation for introducing combined economic knowledge. The 190 students participating in the research were students from three primary schools in Hungary from 10 classes. Given the fact that in the case of all of the significant results, a sufficient effect size could be measured, and furthermore, the relevant test value was very high, it is unambiguously proven that the size of the sample (n = 190) that was used for the examination was sufficient. The results suggest that teaching economic and financial knowledge through accounting and making lectures interactive using special tools of positive education is critical to stimulating children’s interest. Eighty percent of the students in the study liked the combined and interactive lecture. Another goal was to investigate whether those that liked the presentation would perform better on the related knowledge test, which proved to be the case. In the two target groups, students in grade 6 outperformed students in grade 3 on the test. An investigation of gender performance is also included in the research. Findings suggest that the respective education may appropriately be developed based on the close relationship between mathematics and accounting. The lectures can be adapted according to any national or international accounting standards (IFRS, etc.) and can be taught in an online classroom as well. The lectures aim to develop children’s independent problem-solving skills so they can adapt the information to their own lives and financial situations. The paper fills a gap in the research by describing a successful attempt to complex economic literacy.JEL Classification codeA29, M21, M41

“…Alagiah et al (2001) studies the relationship between first-year student performances and their attendance at tutorials. Syukur (2021) examines whether the student's achievement differs across their gender, study major, and origins. Moreover, Otavov a and S ykorov a (2016) explore the differences among test scores of mathematics for economists courses obtained by students under five different faculties.…”

PurposeThe availability of daily assessment data in a centralized monitoring system at school provides the opportunity to detect unusual scores soon after the assessment is carried out. This paper introduces a model for the detection of unusual scores of individual students to immediately improve performances that deviate from a normal state.Design/methodology/approachA student's ability, a subject's difficulty level, a student's specific ability in a subject, and the difficulty level of an assessment in a subject are selected as factor effects of a linear ANOVA model. Through analysis of variance, a case study is conducted based on 330 data points of assessment scores of primary grade students retrieved from an international school in Japan.FindingsThe actual score is below the lower control limit, which is recognized as an unusual score, and the score can be detected immediately after sitting for an assessment and is beneficial for students to take immediate remedies based on daily assessment. This is demonstrated through a case study.Originality/valueThe detection of unusual scores based on a linear model of individual students soon after each assessment benefits from immediate remedy aligns with a daily management concept. The daily assessment data in a school system enable detection based on individual students, subject-wise and assessment-wise to improve student performances in the same academic year.
