- Abstract
The article presents the results of the analysis of the role of cognitive and non-cognitive factors of success in learning mathematics and Russian language in primary school boys and girls. We focused on cognitive measures: spatial memory, speed of information processing, number sense and a measure of motivation - the value of learning activities. We found sex differences in spatial memory, speed of information processing, the value of training activities and success in learning Russian language. The rate of success in mathematics in boys and girls showed similar structure of relationships of the analyzed characteristics, whereas for the success in Russian the structure of relationships was different (boys had no relationship with spatial memory). We revealed different patterns of predictors of success in learning mathematics and Russian in girls and boys of primary school age. We highlight the importance of the value of learning activity as a predictor of success in learning in younger school children of both sexes.
