The Dimensionality of the Leaving Certificate in the Swedish Compulsory School.

Andersson, Anette

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v42 n1 p25-40 Mar 1998

The dimensionality of school marks in compulsory schools was examined using databases (BACE72 and BACE73) on 200,000 Swedes born in 1972 and 1973 who had received a school-leaving certificate. Marks for 17 subject areas were analyzed for multidimensionality, and gender differences in ranked abilities were noted. Factors affecting achievement were analyzed. (MAK)
