Major objective in this study was the structuring of a predictive model that would assess combinations of variables that most effectively and parsimoniously measure and forecast college success. (Author)

Teachers estimated students' progress; the result, using EMR students, was no apparent statistical relationship between expectations and academic achievement. (Editor/SP)

Compares the readability formulas devised by Fry and McLaughlin to the Dale-Chall formula and reports similar results with the Fry and Dale-Chall formulas, but variant results using the McLaughlin formula. Bibliography. (MD)

Presents the procedures, results, and conclusions of a study designed to determine (1) the relations between physics teachers' knowledge of their subject and student learning on 17 cognitive, affective, and behavioral criteria, and (2) the interaction of teacher achievement with prior student achievement. Subjects were 36 teachers and their…
