The Validity of Cognitive, Affective, and Demographic Variables in the Prediction of Achievement in High School Algebra and Geometry: Implications for the Definition of Mathematical Aptitude
Taylor, C. Leigh; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 36, 4, 971-82, Win 76
Thirty-six cognitive, affective and demographic variables in addition to two measures of musical experience were used to predict algebra and geometry grades and teacher ratings of student math aptitude for three hundred high school students. Cognitive measures were the best predictors although some affective variables made significant contributions. (JKS)
