The relationship between mathematics achievement and reading comprehension skill A meta-analysis stu

This study aims to investigate the relationship between mathematics achievement and reading comprehension skill using the method of meta-analysis. For this purpose, 18 studies consisting of articles and postgraduate theses that were scanned in databases using the identified keywords and were in line with the inclusion criteria were included in the study. From these studies, 28 effect- size values were calculated. The analysis of the data was performed based on the random-effects model. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA) program was used to analyze the data. According to the study results, it was found that there was a positive relationship at a high level (g=0.575) between reading comprehension skills and mathematics achievement. Moreover, the effect sizes of the studies were found to have no significant difference in terms of year of publication, type of publication, and level of education.
