Tóm tắt

The American Council on Education Psychological Examination was given to 288 college students as freshmen and again as seniors. For the three classes studied, the statistically significant gains in average raw scores ranged from 16.21 to 19.25 points, equivalent to gains of 26 to 28 points in percentile scores, for both the verbal and mathematical components of the test. Those who majored in mathematics made especially large gains in this component, but all liberal arts courses appeared to contribute to improvement in the verbal scores. Correlations between freshman and senior percentile scores were .73 for the Q (mathematical) test; .84 for V (verbal); and .82 for the total test. No significant change in variability was found between the earlier and later scores, a fact which should remind college teachers that instruction must be adapted to individual differences, even at the higher academic levels.
