主題:Assessing knowledge growth of applicants from difference entrance-channels

Program Book Abstract
The study aimed to gain insight into the longitudinal impact of entrance-channel on applicants’ knowledge growth using linear growth modeling. To this end, we analyze the extent to which entrance channels, gender, and prior knowledge can predict the initial state and growth of academic performance. Levels of prior academic performance, gender, and types of entrance-channel were predictors and grades for each semester was dependent variables. The results suggested that females outperformed males in initial grades and slope of knowledge growth. The prior academic performance had positive influence on initial grades and negative impact on the slope of knowledge growth.
