Scores on the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire and grade point average were investigated as predictors of performance in an educational media course. Neither were recommended as tools for predicting course performance. (GDC)

Concludes that humanism in teachers is related to reporting fewer unresolvable conflicts with pupils and that pupil control ideology and subsequent teacher control behavior (the referring of pupils to the administration for disciplinary action) are related. (Author/IRT)

Biographical, tempermental, and aptitude data were collected for two semesters from students enrolled in an introductory computer class. Only college grade point average and general intelligence contributed significantly to the model. (Author/IRT)

The usefulness of the Myklebust Pupil Rating Scale (PRS) in diagnosing learning disabilities was studied in 516 third- and fourth-grade school children. It was concluded that the PRS is stable across populations and over time, and that no single subscale was sufficient to predict the total score. (PHR)

Specific applications of early recollections (ERs) within group settings are introductory exercise, an index of social interest, a kind of guided imagery, and an aid in intensive therapy. Additional uses of ERs include vocational decision making, pictorial representations of group perceptions, and a measure of group member's personal growth.…

Teachers' predictions of pupil success in elementary school were compared to pupil performance in terms of quartile placement on national test norms. Results indicated that teachers were able to predict reading achievement but had less predictive ability in other areas. (JKS)

Essays were rewritten to be stronger or weaker in content, organization, sentence structure, and mechanics. Twelve evaluators first used a four-point holistic rating scale and then rated whether each of the four categories was strong or weak. Analyses of variance revealed content and organization affected ratings most. (Author/RD)

Comparison of SAT math scores, high school grade point averages (GPAs), and final chemistry grades for both the 1972 and 1976 fall semester classes of the first-year chemistry course at the University of Virginia showed that SAT math scores were a much better predictor of final chemistry grades than were high school GPAs.

Remarks delivered during the dedication of the University of Pittsburgh Law Building, April 30, 1976, are offered dealing with the future of legal education, projected course requirements, and the economics of law practice. (LBH)

Students from 84 biology, 113 chemistry, and 41 physics classes drawn from midwestern states completed the Learning Environment Inventory and the Science Attitude Inventory. One out of ten LEI scales predicted attitude scores of biology and chemistry students, and none was found for physics students. (MLH)

Determines effects of sequencing in junior high science on the success of students in high school biology. In comparing standardized test scores of 1,143 students taking tenth grade biology, the half enrolled in a generalized general science curriculum in grades 7, 8 and 9 scored as well as or better than the half that had a specialized life…

Attempts to reevaluate Beall and Panton's MMPI escape scale on what presumably would be a more appropriate escapee sample than that used in previous studies. This would help to determine whether a revision of this escape scale should be undertaken. (Author/RK)
