What does your school obtain from this tool?

01

Detect

Understand the reasons behind different academic performance levels within the group to enable personalised learning.

02

Understand and enhance

The development of core learning foundations: verbal comprehension, mathematical reasoning, and reading.

03

Facilitate

A strong foundation for learning.

04

Anticipate

Potential learning difficulties.

Problems you prevent (or mitigate) when using the Fundamental Skills Battery

1.School failure: Early detection facilitates intervention to prevent learning difficulties from becoming chronic, enabling an appropriate educational response.

2.Problems with reading and comprehension: Reading is the foundation of all learning, and difficulties in this area can impact performance in any subject, including mathematics. This tool helps identify underdeveloped skills and target interventions to prevent them from affecting reading competence.

3.Difficulties in mathematics learning: Mathematics is often met with resistance because the root of the difficulty is not identified, leading to reinforcement without addressing the actual comprehension issue. Identifying the cause of the difficulty helps prevent it from becoming persistent.

4.Lack of motivation and low academic self-concept: A false belief in low ability due to insufficient academic performance directly impacts intellectual self-esteem and motivation. Raising awareness of one's abilities, understanding how they influence performance, and learning how to develop them fosters a sense of control and motivation for change.

The Fundamental Learning Skills Test uses 9 dimensions to assess the development level of fundamental learning skills.
