Sažetak
In this paper, the authors define mathematical and informatics competences for the 5th grade elementary school children and present causal model of mathematical and informatics competences. The basic objective was to measure causal interconnection between informatics and mathematical competences in elementary education. The sample for our research comprised of 21 elementary schools in the Republic of Croatia, with 9 from the rural and 12 from urban areas. The participants were 250 pupils attending 5th grade, under the presumption that there were at least 10-15 pupils within a school per generation attending informatics as an elective subject. The pupils were 10-11 years old (5th grade) of both genders. Background questionnaire has been administered among teachers in spring of 2018 for the school year 2016/2017, which consisted of grades achieved on mathematical and informatics exams in 5-6 individual topics according to the National Plan and Programme for the subject mathematics and elective subject informatics. Using statistical set of variables which measured mathematical and informatics competences the authors created representation of distribution using the Bayes model with information about conditional independences between mathematical and informatics competences. Statistical analysis was conducted using free software Tetrad 5.2.1-3 (Tetrad project 2015). In the results section structural equations between mathematical and informatics competitions are described. This research attempts to help systematize the aforementioned competencies and provide the causality model illustrating the connection between computer science and mathematics. The causality model will enable the comparison of competence levels and contribute to developing educational programs for computer science and mathematics in primary school.
