dc.description.abstractThe study aims to examine students’ literacy performance levels, knowledge and cognitive skills and performance differences in the states of Penang, Perak, Perlis, Kedah, Selangor, Kelantan, Terengganu and Johor. The eight states that participated in this study represent the North zone (Penang, Perak, Perlis and Kedah), South zone (Johor), Central zone (Selangor) and the East zone (Kelantan and Terengganu) of Malaysia. The domains of reading, science, mathematics and ICT are integrated as subjects that provide a holistic discipline to explore students’ abilities and literacy levels across the states. The study also investigates the influence of personal, home, school and community predictors on students’ literacy performance in reading, science, mathematics and ICT. This study employs a mixed methods approach incorporating both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative surveys attempt to draw data in relation to students’ performance in each literacy domain as well as examine factors that contribute to literacy performance. The qualitative approach involved focus group interviews that endeavor to draw insights regarding students’ values and literacy practices for the purpose of triangulation. The quantitative sample consisted of 813 students while the qualitative samples comprised 160 participants. The findings on the overall literacy performance showed that students across states attained Band 3 (Basic) in reading, Band 4 (Proficient) in science literacy, Band 3 (Basic) in mathematics and ICT literacy. The findings revealed that sixteen year old students attained basic level in three literacy domains namely, reading, mathematics and ICT literacy and attained proficient level in science literacy. Results also showed that there are differences in literacy performance across states. Based on the overall data, the findings on the influence of literacy support revealed that there are similarities across states as both personal and home predictors were found to have had strong influences on literacy performance.en_US
