Relationships between Achievement and Selective Variables in a Chemistry Course for Nonmajors.

BouJaoude, Saouma B.; Giuliano, Frank J.

School Science and Mathematics, v94 n6 p296-302 Oct 1994

Investigated the relationships between (n=220) students' approaches to studying, prior knowledge, logical thinking, and gender and their performance in a nonmajors' college freshman chemistry course. Found that prior knowledge was the best predictor of achievement, followed by formal reasoning ability. (22 references) (Author/MKR)
