An Examination of Freshmen to Senior General Education Gains across a National Sample of Institutions with Different General Education Requirements Using a Mixed-Effect Structural Equation Model.
Knight, William E.
Research in Higher Education, v34 n1 p41-54 Feb 1993
A structural equation modeling approach was used to investigate general education achievement gains in 6,409 students at 34 colleges and universities. Results indicated gains were highest among students attending institutions where general education requirements were under 40% of overall requirements or were not equally distributed among communications, mathematics, social science, natural sciences, and humanities.
