MODELLING THE EDUCATIONAL ADDED VALUE OF MATHEMATICS IN RELATION TO THE DEGREE OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN SELECTED MUNICIPALITIES IN POLAND

Abstract

This article describes factors affecting the modelling of educational added value (EAV). The study takes into account the results of mathematics and their fluctuations in relation to the degree of social development. Mathematics has been selected for thi s analysis based on the literature review. As a field of science, mathematics is characterized by greater objectivity, thus allowing for less suggestive analysis of results. The indicator of the EAV of mathematics is confronted with independent data. This article contains a detailed analysis of the impact of these variables on EAV. In addition, these variables are grouped into separate classes by the level of social development. The explanatory variables include municipal income per capita, housing allowanc
es, the number of dwellings per 1000 inhabitants, square footage, the number of children in kindergartens per one place and registered unemployment. The obtained results of the model estimation are not clear about the directions of impact on EAV in particu lar classes of social development. In view of mathematics can be determined by the level of social development.
