2) Correlation between <strong>the</strong> subjects by Romanian students attending a Ma<strong>the</strong>matics-Informatics course<br />

We have seen earlier <strong>the</strong> partial correlation by Hungarian students specialized in Informatics and Romanian<br />

students attending a science course. The following tables show <strong>the</strong> calculated values <strong>of</strong> correlation by Romanian<br />

students attending Ma<strong>the</strong>matics-Informatics course it helps to do a deeper analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> results by countries and<br />

grades.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> table <strong>the</strong> results by Romanian students attending a Ma<strong>the</strong>matics-Informatics course in <strong>the</strong> 11 th<br />

grade show mostly positive calculated values <strong>of</strong> correlation between <strong>the</strong> subjects (Table XI.). The calculated<br />

values show middle strong connection between spreadsheet calculation word processing.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> table <strong>the</strong> results by Romanian students attending a science course in <strong>the</strong> 11 th grade show mostly<br />

positive calculated values <strong>of</strong> correlation between <strong>the</strong> subjects (Table XII.). If we make a comparison with <strong>the</strong><br />

results by 11 th grade we can recognize more middle and middle strong correlation values between <strong>the</strong> subjects.<br />

The calculated values show middle strong connection between database management and spreadsheet calculation,<br />

SQL. The strong <strong>of</strong> correlation is middle between <strong>the</strong>oretical knowledge and database management, spreadsheet<br />

calculation, between spreadsheet calculation and SQL, between database management and Object Oriented<br />

Programming. It means Romanian students attending a Ma<strong>the</strong>matics-Informatics course in <strong>the</strong> 12 th could learn<br />
