Thorsen, Cecilia – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2014

Previous studies have shown that criterion-referenced compulsory school grades are multidimensional, reflecting subject-specific dimensions and a common grade dimension, both of which contribute to the predictive validity of grades. This…

Lekholm, Alli Klapp – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2011

Multilevel, multivariate,…
