„We found effects of ML (Anm.: Mathematical literacy) on later academic achievement in different domains. These results confirm our hypotheses regarding the influence of ML on achievement in different school domains in terms of a transfer effect. In line with previous findings, we suggest that the transfer effect of ML is due to the promotion of domain-general abilities such as problem solving and a deeper understanding of texts, realistic contexts, and students’ everyday life through competence development linked with students’ ML.“
