摘要: The Academic Development Study of Australian Twins was established in 2012 with the purpose investigating relative influence genes and environments literacy numeracy capabilities across two primary secondary school grades Australia. It is first longitudinal twin project its kind Australia comprises a sample 2762 pairs, 40 triplet sets 1485 nontwin siblings. Measures include standardized test data collected at Grades 3, 5, 7 9 as part National Assessment Program: Literacy Numeracy. A range demographic behavioral also collected, some multiple time points. This article outlines background rationale for study provides an overview research design, measures collected. Findings emerging from future directions are discussed.
