註釋Educational requirements for airman specialties are given in Air Force Manual 35-1. This study examines the role of some of these gross indicators of academic achievement in predicting technical school grades. Attention was restricted to the educational information shown on testing and assignment record cards completed for a sample of airmen in 13 Air Force specialties. By linear regression techniques it was found that the joint contribution of this limited amount of information permits the prediction of a large part of the variance in technical school grades. High school graduation was the best single predictor among the educational variables. Completion or noncompletion of particular high-school-level courses, although individually and generally predictive of the criterion measures, consistently did not reach a level of practical significance for any specialty when the effects of other information were controlled. Further validation of educational requirements for Air Force specialties should start with better basic information on academic achievement.
