This study stems from attempts to develop prediction equations for freshman grade point average for two demographic classifications of students at a southwestern university. Although the particular results are probably of interest only to that university, certain aspects of the study should be of general interest, because, of the 3,237 students…

Albers, Dennis – 1991
In 1990, a study was conducted at Columbia College (CC) to determine whether a predictor variable could be constructed for student nonsuccess in beginning mathematics courses. For the purposes of the study, nonsuccess was defined as earning a grade of D, F, or No Credit either at the time of withdrawal from the course or as a final grade. The…

Vincent, Harold A.; And Others – 1986
Variables to predict grades in a noncalculus, preprofessional college physics course at Xavier University of Louisiana, a historically-black institution, were identified using linear regression. The two-semester, noncalculus physics course emphasizes the application of physics in the health professions. The study population consisted of 123…

Jacobs, Lucy Cheser – 1985
Procedures for predicting academic achievement at Indiana University, Bloomington, are examined, based on data for the 4,145 freshmen who entered the university in fall 1983. Three sets of prediction equations and a graphic scheme for determining probable first semester grade point averages (GPAs) for males and females are provided. Entering…

LUNNEBORG, CLIFFORD E.; LUNNEBORG, PATRICIA W. – 1967
A TECHNIQUE OF PATTERN ANALYSIS WHICH EMPHASIZES THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS OF SCORING A GIVEN SET OF VARIABLES WAS FORMULATED. TO THE ORIGINAL VARIABLES WERE SUCCESSIVELY ADDED TWO, THREE, AND FOUR VARIABLE PATTERNS AND THE INCREASE IN PREDICTIVE EFFICIENCY ASSESSED. RANDOMLY SELECTED HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS WHO HAD PARTICIPATED IN THE…

Institute for Services to Education, Inc., Washington, DC. – 1979
This study examined the predictive strength of standardized test scores and selected non-traditional indices of academic success in relation to the academic performance of black students attending historically black colleges. The sample consisted of 364 graduating seniors from eleven historically black colleges. American College Test composite…

Lunneborg, Patricia W. – 1970
Research indicates the necessity for predictive criteria other than grades to aid the community college student in making decisions concerning career, and goals. Three successive studies were conducted which demonstrate that unless there is a close correspondence between predictors and criteria, the available tests are able to predict only graded…

Szabo, Michael; Feldhusen, John F. – 1970
This is an empirical study of selected learner characteristics and their relation to academic success, as indicated by course grades, in a structured independent study learning program. This program, called the Audio-Tutorial System, was utilized in an undergraduate college course in the biological sciences. By use of multiple regression analysis,…

Goldman, Roy D.; Richards, Regina – 1972
The predictive validity of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) for Mexican-Americans is investigated. Forty-two Mexican-American freshmen students who entered the University of California, Riverside, in the Fall 1971 participated in the study. Analyses of variance concerning ethnic groups on GPA (grade point average) and SAT verbal (SATV) and math…

Peer reviewedGoolsby, Charlee B.; And Others – Research & Teaching in Developmental Education, 1988
Examines attitudinal variables (e.g., math anxiety, attitude toward success), locus of control, high school grade point average (HSGPA), and Scholastic Aptitude Test Quantitative (SATQ) scores as predictors of first-quarter grades in a developmental mathematics course. Reports that HSGPA, SATQ, and self-confidence were significant predictors of…

Peer reviewedHouse, J. Daniel – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1995
Investigates the efficacy of student motivation, prior achievement, and previous instructional experience for predicting performance in college mathematics. Findings indicate that student attitudes were significant predictors of grade performance; previous instructional experience was more significant for predicting pass/fail outcomes than…

Direct linkDorner, Celine D'Souza; Hutton, Ivan – College and University, 2002
Examined whether a mathematics placement system accurately predicted success in university mathematics classes for both genders. The placement system used four variables to predict grades a student would receive if placed in various freshman mathematics classes. Found that the multiple predictors added to the gender bias of the Scholastic…

Peer reviewedBryson, Seymour; Smith, Ronald; Vineyard, George – Journal of the First-Year Experience & Students in Transition, 2002
Examined the relationship of race, traditional academic measures (high school GPA and rank, ACT scores), and nonacademic variables (measured by the Bryson Instrument for Noncognitive Assessment, or BINA) to the first-year grades of specially-admitted college students. Found that predictors of college success functioned differently for blacks and…

Balunas, Lynn – 1986
In spring 1985, a study was conducted at Broome Community College (BCC) in New York to determine the relationship between the number of hours students worked per week, their grade point average (GPA), and persistence in college and the conditions that may influence this relationship. The American College Testing Program Student Opinion Survey was…

Fox, James Arthur – 1975
The purpose of this study was to determine which personality traits as measured by the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) are predictive of academic achievement in urban college freshmen of the Federal City College. The measures of achievement were grade point average (GPA) and the Comparative Guidance and Placement Program (CGPP) test…
