Predictors of Reading Literacy Among Fifteen-Year-Olds in Bosnia and Herzegovina: A Secondary Analysis of PISA 2018 Results

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on a secondary analysis of the results of the PISA 2018 study in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a particular emphasis on the reading literacy of 15-year-olds. The objective is to identify key factors that predict students' reading performance, such as parental education, household resources, the number of books in the home library, and enjoyment of reading .The analysis was conducted on a sample of 6,480 students from urban and rural schools, utilizing data available on the OECD platform. Multiple linear regression was used for statistical processing. The results show that all examined factors are significant predictors of reading literacy, with enjoyment of reading having the most substantial impact. Together, these predictors explain 12.8% of the variance in reading literacy, with socioeconomic status and cultural resources being critical for students' success.The conclusions suggest that improving educational policies, supporting reading habits, and increasing access to resources can significantly enhance reading literacy in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This study contributes to the understanding of academic challenges in the context of PISA results and provides recommendations for developing educational strategies.
