In this article, we examined predictive validity of "Student Risk Screening Scale--Internalizing and Externalizing" (SRSS-IE) scores for use with elementary-age students (N = 4,465) from 14 elementary schools. Results indicated elementary school students with high levels of risk according to fall SRSS-IE scores--especially those with…

Galla, Brian M.; Shulman, Elizabeth P.; Plummer, Benjamin D.; Gardner, Margo; Hutt, Stephen J.; Goyer, J. Parker; D'Mello, Sidney K.; Finn, Amy S.; Duckworth, Angela L. – American Educational Research Journal, 2019
Compared with admissions test scores, why are high school grades better at predicting college graduation? We argue that success in college requires not only cognitive ability but also self-regulatory competencies that are better indexed by high school grades. In a national sample of 47,303 students who applied to college for the 2009/2010 academic…

Douglass, John Aubrey – Center for Studies in Higher Education, 2019
The following essay details a debate between UC Berkeley and a Regent who made charges of discrimination against Asian American students that are similar to the current legal challenges facing Harvard University. The crux of such charges: on average, that one racial or ethnic group is more "qualified" than other groups, often…

Tadesse, Tefera; Gillies, Robyn M. – Australian Journal of Career Development, 2017
This study examined a modified version of the Student Engagement Scale, as adopted from the Australasian Survey of Student Engagement. It did so through examining model fit, predictive validity of the engagement factor, and testing of score reliability and measurement invariance across colleges and class years. Participants were volunteer…

Machingambi, Zadzisai – Journal of Education and Practice, 2017
The principal focus of this study was to undertake a multilevel assessment of the predictive validity of teacher made tests in the Zimbabwean primary education sector. A correlational research design was adopted for the study, mainly to allow for statistical treatment of data and subsequent classical hypotheses testing using the spearman's rho.…

Mattern, Krista; Sanchez, Edgar; Ndum, Edwin – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2017
In the context of college admissions, the current study examined whether differential prediction of first-year grade point average (FYGPA) by gender could be explained by an omitted variable problem--namely, academic discipline, or the amount of effort a student puts into schoolwork and the degree to which a student sees him/herself as hardworking…

Jobes, Tammy L. Kester Engel – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Healthcare administration is a complex, multifaceted career path that requires constant adaptation and integration of external guidance. Organizations seeking the most qualified and skilled candidates draw from a multitude of applicants without having a single potential success indicator. The lack of a standard educational background,…

Admission criteria can be used to predict Saudi student performance in college, but significant differences across several studies exists. This study explores the predictive power of admission criteria for college assignment using King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences as a model. Scores from high school and standardized tests were…

How predictable are life trajectories? We investigated this question with a scientific mass collaboration using the common task method; 160 teams built predictive models for six life outcomes using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a high-quality birth cohort study. Despite using a rich dataset and applying machine-learning…

Bastian, Kevin C.; Lys, Diana; Pan, Yi – Journal of Teacher Education, 2018
Teacher candidate performance assessments represent a promising source of data for evidence-based program improvement. However, teacher preparation programs (TPPs) interested in reform face a crucial question: how to identify actionable evidence in performance-assessment data. To address this concern, we propose a two-pronged empirical framework…

Fonteyne, Lot; Eelbode, Annick; Lanszweert, Isabelle; Roels, Elisabeth; Schelfhout, Stijn; Duyck, Wouter; De Fruyt, Filip – International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, 2018
This study addresses the effects of negative attainability feedback on the shift from engagement to disengagement from a career goal. It was hypothesized that negative attainability feedback regarding study choice may lead to both goal engagement and goal disengagement and that this relation is mediated by self-efficacy, motivational beliefs, and…

Hinchliffe, Lisa Janicke; Rand, Allison; Collier, Jillian – Communications in Information Literacy, 2018
The process of learning includes not only success in developing knowledge, skills, and abilities but also mistakes and errors that impede such success. In any domain of learning, instructors will have developed a sense of the typical errors learners make; however, there has been no systematic investigation and documentation of predictable…
