Abstract
The current paper aims to review the body of literature on the topic of academic achievement prediction to establish if it is possible to predict the academic achievement of children before the end of their fifth year. A . narrative synthesis performed on the body of the research obtained from " Jstor" Google Scholar, the ‘Jstor’ digital library and the university library, suggests that predictions can indeed be made regarding the academic achievement of this age group. The literature seems to suggest that both academic factors, . such as Cumulative average, and non-academic factors, such as ( ) ( : socioeconomic status, pre-school development and parental capital, can ) serve as moderately reliable predictors of academic performance from as early as 22 months. However, the evidence must be considered with caution 22 as the definition and operationalisation of academic achievement varied across the research. In addition, factors such as motivation and self-efficacy . were rarely taken into account. Still, the prediction of academic achievement . in young children is possible. It can be improved with time as research . continues to flourish in this area, and the issues regarding definition and measurement are recognised in the academic community . the variety of methods used, the predictions in the academic domain
