A Longitudinal Analysis Using the LISREL-Model with Structured Means.
Hanna, Gila; Lei, Hau
This paper discusses the use of the LISREL computer program to compare two groups of Ontario students who studied French as a second language in either a regular or an immersion program. Longitudinal data on growth in mathematical ability, from grade 4 to grade 6, are analyzed using seven different mathematical models. The paper illustrates the use of LISREL for models with structured means, and demonstrates its usefulness for investigating the structural relationships among measurements of one true variable taken at yearly intervals.
