Some Factors Affecting the Technical Education of College Age Hispanics.
Overview & Synopsis
This study investigates factors which may adversely affect the technical education of Hispanic bilinguals. Hispanic bilingual students (N=36) majoring in science or engineering at the University of Massachusetts were given a variety of exams in both English and Spanish aimed at ascertaining the level of certain mathematically related skills. An English version of the exams was also administered to 38 monolingual science and engineering majors. Results indicate that math performance is very dependent upon language proficiency for bilinguals, but not for monolinguals. (Author/CS)
