在高中化学中专注于某些内容领域的学生在大学化学中比其他人有优势吗？早在20世纪20年代，就有关于高中学生为大学理科做准备的公开研究，但结果好坏参半。本文试图通过对3521名大学化学入门学生进行广泛的调查来回答这个问题。本研究提供了描述性分析，显示了来自美国31所四年制学院和大学的大学化学学生报告的高中内容体验的分布。结果表明，化学计量学比高中学习的其他七个主题领域更能预测大学化学的成功。此外，包括微积分背景在内的三个数学背景预测因子被发现是高度显著的。
Do students who focus on some content areas in high school chemistry have an advantage over others in college chemistry? Published research on high school preparation for college science dates back as far as the 1920s, but results have been mixed. This manuscript seeks to answer this question through the use of a broad-based survey of 3521 introductory college chemistry students. This study provides descriptive analyses showing the distribution of high school content experiences reported by college chemistry students from 31 four-year colleges and universities in the United States. The results indicate that stoichiometry rises above seven other topic areas studied in high school as most strongly predictive of college chemistry success. In addition, three mathematics background predictors, including calculus background, were found to be highly significant.
