Personological Variables Related to GED Retention and Withdrawal.

Wilson, Russell C.

Adult Education, v30 n3 p173-85 Spr 1980

A self-assessment scale was administered to adults in a high school equivalency program. After ten weeks, the scores of those who persisted were compared to those of dropouts. The self-concept of dropouts was found to be significantly different from that of persisters, providing a personality portrait useful in the identification of potential dropouts. (SK)
