Science Achievement and Educational Productivity: A Hierarchical Linear Model.
Young, Deidra J.; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v89 n5 p272-78 May-Jun 1996
Achievement test scores were analyzed in relation to individual- and school-level factors in a national sample of 10th graders (n=2,535) to investigate the relative importance of school and individual factors in determining science learning. Hierarchical linear analyses showed that individual measures accounted for most of the variance. Previous achievement was the preponderant influence on subsequent achievement. (Author/SM)
