| Abstract: | This study attempts to assess the predictive validity of some selected variables on students
past experience, identification, parental economic and educational backgrounds and college
facilities. It investigates the most dominant predictors of the first year first semester average
score of students at Kotebe College of Teacher Education. Subjects of the study consist of
102 randomly selected freshman students from the Natural and Social Science students who
were admitted to the college in the year 1998/99. Preliminary analysis is carried out
through Chi-square tests and correlation analysis. The combined effect of the variables is
analyzed using stepwise regression analysis. The results show that high school overall
average score, age, sex, ESLCE mathematics grade, region high school attended and
mother's education are significant predictors of first year first semester average score.
Implications are discussed and suggestions are given. |
