Reading for Information: Skill Levels of Secondary Students Enrolled in Applied versus Traditional Courses.

Field, Dennis Wayne

Journal of Vocational Education Research, v24 n2 p103-20 1999

The Work Keys Reading for Information test was completed by 418 high school students in either applied or traditional English, math, and technology courses. Traditional students scored higher, but results might be influenced by use of intact groups, correlation between class mean achievement and class type, or self-selection bias. (SK)
