Heiner Rindermann – Discover Education, 2024
Developing countries achieve surprisingly weak results in international cognitive competence studies. The results are about one to two standard deviations below the average norm-values obtained in Western countries. The results are so low that they are sometimes difficult to believe. For example, in the World Bank collection, Nigeria scored 262…

Knight, Brian G.; Schiff, Nathan M. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2019
College admissions in the U.S. is decentralized, with students applying separately to each school. This creates frictions in the college admissions process and, if substantial, might ultimately limit student choice. In this paper, we study the introduction of the Common Application (CA) platform, under which students submit a single application to…

There is a lot of variability in the field of diagnostic medical sonography and this can potentially have a negative impact upon the delivery of high-quality patient care. Bernhardt and associates (2003) commented on the lack of widespread acceptance for specialized accreditation in health education and Babcock (2016) mentioned the lack of…

This paper examines the characteristics that influence the number of transfers between school districts. Using data on 2018-19 transfers between Indiana's 289 traditional public school districts, we examine observed transfer flows. Model results show that standardized test scores and distance between school districts have the largest impact on the…

Although recognized as a highly effective subject-acceleration intervention, accessibility of Advanced Placement (AP) coursework is not equally available to all students. This lack of access may contribute to documented disparities in AP participation between rural schools and their urban and suburban counterparts. The current study explores the…

Verdis, Athanasios; Kalogeropoulos, Kleomenis; Chalkias, Christos – Research in Comparative and International Education, 2019
This study examines the geographical dimension of access to higher education in Greece by mapping spatial disparities in the distribution of "vathmos prosvasis", the decisive score for being accepted in one of the country's tertiary education departments. Influenced by the 'spatial turn' in the humanities and the social sciences, this…

Skinner, Benjamin T. – Research in Higher Education, 2019
In this paper I investigate the college enrollment decisions of a nationally representative cohort of students who first attended in the mid-2000s. I find that while cost, distance, and match continued to be important in the choice between colleges, characteristics of the most-likely college choice appear less important in the choice of whether to…

Holtzman, Steven; Minott, Tamara; Devasia, Nimmi; Kirova, Dessi; Klieger, David – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
Gathering a diverse student body is important for institutions of higher education (IHEs) at the graduate/professional level. However, it is impossible to select a diverse student body from a homogenous group of candidates. Thus the aim of this study is to discover the extent to which diversity goals in admissions are precluded by the lack of…
