- Title
COLLEGE CHEMISTRY AND PIAGET: THE RELATIONSHIP OF APTITUDE AND ACHIEVEMENT MEASURES.
- Authors
Bender, David S.; Milakofsky, Louis
- Abstract
The article investigates the relationship between aptitude and academic achievement measures in the study and teaching of college chemistry by researchers from Reading, Pennsylvania. The use of "An Inventory Piaget's Developmental Tasks" (IDPT) to determine cognitive performance was effective in correlating Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) and performance in both lecture and laboratory classes of college chemistry. IDPT is a 72-item, untimed, multiple-choice paper-and-pencil inventory. Its validity and reliability makes it a significant tool in correlating SAT and placement data.
