Testing the Validity of a Model of Student Progress at an Australian University.
Watkins, David
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v42 n2 p571-74 Sum 1982
An extension of Tinto's model of the college dropout process was tested with freshmen at an Australian university. The college entrance examination was a relatively valid predictor of whether students will pass, achieve honors, or fail or withdraw. Nonintellective factors were not valid predictors of academic progress. (Author/BW)
