Structural and Concurrent Validity Evidence for the Academic Competence Evaluation Scales-College Edition
DiPerna, James Clyde
Journal of College Counseling, v7 n1 p64 Spr 2004
The purpose of this study was to explore the structural and concurrent validity of the Academic Competence Evaluation Scales-College (ACES-College; J. C. DiPerna & S. N. Elliott, 2001). Results indicated that the ACES-College is composed of 2 scales--Academic Skills and Academic Enablers--each with multiple subscales. Results also indicated that scores from the ACES-College are moderately correlated with students' current and cumulative grade point averages. Directions for future research and implications for practice are discussed.
