Relating Performance in Basic Electricity and Electronics and 'A' Schools.
Abstract
Relationships found between BE/E and 'A' school performance were used: (1) to determine the feasibility of applying lower mastery standards for different ratings without significantly affecting follow-on school success; and (2) to develop criteria for reassigning a student early to a class 'A' school on the basis of his early BE/E performance. Few differences were found on BE/E modules between successful and failing class 'A' school students. Reassigning students to alternative class 'A' schools using the models in this study were not very accurate in predicting performance and less so in predicting attrition. It was recommended that students be permitted through BE/E with lower mastery standards on an experimental basis and that some students omit BE/E entirely to determine whether and to what extent Be/E is a prerequisite to the follow-on school.
