Prediction of Graduation from Academic Remedial Training,
Abstract
Since the establishment of the Academic Remedial Training Division in 1967 at Naval Training Center, San Diego, 1518 recruits have been assigned to the program after having failed the initial academic test during the third week of training. Biographical variables, aptitude scores, a personal history questionnaire, (RTS), initial reading level, and odds for effectiveness scores were related to the criterion of completing ART of not graduating from the school. For the validation sample, the five variables of total RTS, initial reading level, ARI, age, and responding that one does not think he is mentally ill were found to be predictive of ART graduation (R=.384). The most powerful predictor of graduation was RTS. Initial and final reading levels were significantly lower for non-graduates than for graduates. In comparing recruit characteristics from 1967 to 1972 it was found that changes in selection have occurred.
