Two perspectives provide the theoretical framework for this study. The first provides confirmatory maximum likelihood estimates of factor loadings and factor intercorrelations; the second, and more important, provides statistical tests of hypotheses that factor structures and patterns of values are invariant for female and male adolescents. The…

This curriculum guide covers Course III of a three-year sequence for high school mathematics in New York which was intended to provide an alternative to the regular Regents sequence of ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-grade mathematics. A listing of scope and content is provided along with suggested time allotments. Topics covered are: complex…

Each of one third of all Pennsylvania public high schools were assessed in 1974, 75 and 76 so that all high school students were assessed during this three-year period. The results indicate that eleventh grade female students displayed a significantly more positive attitude toward work than did the male students when responding to work attitude…
