Preeya P. Mbekeani; Daniel Koretz – AERA Open, 2024
Validity studies of college admissions tests have found that, on average, students who are Black or Hispanic earn lower freshman grade-point averages (FGPAs) than predicted by these test scores. This differential prediction is used as a measure of bias. These studies, however, conflate student and school characteristics. The differential…

Magliano, Joseph P.; Higgs, Karyn; Santuzzi, Alecia; Tonks, Stephen M.; O'Reilly, Tenaha; Sabatini, John; Feller, Daniel; Kopatich, Ryan D.; Ray, Melissa; Parker, Christopher – Grantee Submission, 2020
The inference mediation hypothesis (IMH) assumes that individual difference factors that affect reading proficiency have direct and indirect effects on comprehension outcomes, with the indirect effects involving inference processes. The present study tested the IMH in a diverse sample of two and four-year college students in a task that emphasizes…

Farris, Emily A.; Cristan, Theodore; Bernstein, Stuart E.; Odegard, Timothy N. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2021
Resilient readers comprehend written language despite word reading deficits. The reading resiliency framework specifies candidate protective factors hypothesized to mitigate adverse effects on reading comprehension arising from phonological decoding deficiencies and, consequently, illuminates how some individuals exhibit relative reading…

Odamaro F. Melton – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Developmental or remedial education is a strategy that assists underprepared or unprepared students. Though prominent in the higher education remedial education landscape, low course and degree completion rates plague developmental mathematics courses. Research is replete with studies addressing students' underpreparedness for college-level…

Hsieh, Tzu-Ling – Higher Education Research and Development, 2019
A new college admission policy will be implemented in Taiwan in 2022. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between admission criteria and college success. Data was obtained from the Taiwan Higher Education Database; a sample size of 8443 students from 156 universities was used in this study. By using the structural equation…

Preeya Pandya Mbekeani – ProQuest LLC, 2020
Validity studies of college admissions tests have found that black and Hispanic students typically perform worse in college, as measured by their freshman grade point average (FGPA), than predicted based on college admissions test scores. These studies, however, conflate student and school characteristics when estimating differential prediction.…

Parkin, Jason R.; Beaujean, A. Alexander; Firmin, Michael W.; Qiu, Xiao; Firmin, Ruth L. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2018
In this study, we examined the factor structure, reliability, and external validity of scores from the Comprehensive Test of Nonverbal Intelligence-Second Edition (CTONI-2) using an independent sample of young adults currently enrolled in a postsecondary institution. Although the subtests appear to be measuring general intelligence, the aggregate…

Yu, Martin C.; Sackett, Paul R.; Kuncel, Nathan R. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2016
The prevalence of homeschooling in the United States is increasing. Yet little is known about how commonly used predictors of postsecondary academic performance (SAT, high school grade point average [HSGPA]) perform for homeschooled students. Postsecondary performance at 140 colleges and universities was analyzed comparing a sample of traditional…

Burstein, Jill; McCaffrey, Dan; Beigman Klebanov, Beata; Ling, Guangming – Grantee Submission, 2017
No significant body of research examines writing achievement and the specific skills and knowledge in the writing domain for postsecondary (college) students in the U.S., even though many at-risk students lack the prerequisite writing skills required to persist in their education. This paper addresses this gap through a novel…

Wei, Xin; Yu, Jennifer W.; Shattuck, Paul; Blackorby, Jose – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2017
Previous studies suggest that individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely than other disability groups and the general population to gravitate toward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. However, the field knows little about which factors influence the STEM pipeline between high school and…

Nichols-Barrer, Ira; Place, Kate; Dillon, Erin; Gill, Brian P. – Education Next, 2016
The state of Massachusetts introduced a system of standardized testing in its public schools three years before the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 mandated such practices for all 50 states. Although the tests have evolved over time, the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) has been in place ever since. After Massachusetts…

Harris, Robert V.; King, Stephanie B. – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2016
The purpose of this study was to see if a relationship existed between American College Testing (ACT) scores (i.e., English, reading, mathematics, science reasoning, and composite) and student success in a computer applications course at a Mississippi community college. The study showed that while the ACT scores were excellent predictors of…

Kinks in the STEM Pipeline: Tracking STEM Graduation Rates Using Science and Mathematics Performance
Redmond-Sanogo, Adrienne; Angle, Julie; Davis, Evan – School Science and Mathematics, 2016
In an effort to maintain the global competitiveness of the United States, ensuring a strong Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce is essential. The purpose of this study was to identify high school courses that serve as predictors of success in college level gatekeeper courses, which in turn led to the successful…

Mould, Tom; DeLoach, Stephen B. – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2017
While studies of predictive factors for success in honors have been increasingly creative and expansive on what these factors might include, they have rarely challenged the dominant, virtually monolithic definitions of success. The majority of studies measure success either by collegiate grade point averages (GPAs) or retention rates in honors,…
