Abstract
Partial mediation is confirmed in more focussed tests of mediation using regression analysis. Two datasets using independent measures provide corroborating evidence that RC skill may be partially mediating the relationship between PS ability and growth in maths. In addition, findings show that these mechanisms hold uniformly regardless of language background, and that with no evidence of group differences with respect to the partial mediation model, the results have better generalisability to the student population. These findings have important implications for future system-wide implementation of large scale interventions on Australia's linguistically diverse classrooms.
