The age groups are consisting of pupils at the end of the primary educational level (5th grade), pupils at the end of lower secondary level (9th grade) and students at the end of upper secondary level. The secondary goal of the study is the identification of students’ perception of their strategies, ways of strategy selection and the comparison of perceived strategies with the real ones.
