| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to assess the predictive validity of the selection criteria used for (10+3) Teacher Education Colleges. 167 boys and 126 girls were randomly selected (/i'om 453 boys and 345 girls) to participate in the study. EGSECE GPA, Transcript average, result of Entrance exam, Sex, and cumulative GP A of third year students were collected from the participants' personal file. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Product correlation coefficient, multiple and stepwise regression analyses were employed to analyze the data. The results indicated statistically significant relations (at .05 level) between the predictor variables and the criterion variable. A statistically significant intercorrelalion was found among the components of the selection criteria for all groups other than Aesthetics. EGSECE GPA was found to be the best predictor of College GPA, while sex failed to be a predictor of College GP A. II was concluded that the selection criteria had different predictive power for males, females, and various fields of study. Practical implications of the findings are discussed. For example, the greatest weight/ proportion should be assigned to EGSECE GP A given the findings of this study. | en_US |
