Memory Modes and Mathematics among Technical and Further Education Trade Students.

Peak, Grahame; Kelly, Max

Vocational Aspect of Education, v44 n1 p121-33 1992

Electrical fitting students had higher achievement. Results suggested that low achievers in technical math may have difficulty with sets because of lack of language facility. (SK)
