Abstract | Abstract The end-of-first year attitudes towards chemistry, the degree to which course expectations matched realisations, and examination scores were available for 110 Belgian freshman chemistry majors. Four years later, data of subsequent “careers” enabled the students (Ss) to be classified in four groups: those who continued as chemistry majors throughout their university studies; those who changed their major study but stayed at university; those who left university for non-university higher education; and those who ceased their studies. Using discriminant analysis it was possible to predict approximately 70% of those destined to form Group 1. The prediction of those in the other groups became progressively weaker. The difference between groups is discussed in terms of the discriminating variables. Measures of the attitudes of the students towards chemistry four years later revealed that these later feelings could not be predicted on the basis of their feelings at the end of their first year of studies. |
