Pupils' Performances on Industrial Selection Tests in Relation to Their Mathematical Background

Fitzgerald, A.

Educational Research, 20, 2, 122-9, Feb 78

There were no significant differences in overall performance, nor did inclination toward or away from a technical career in industry seem to affect results. (MF)
