Abstract:
|
In the 2003 - 2004 university year in Ontario, students from both the 'old' (five year) high school curriculum and the 'new' (four year) program began university. This study looks at the differences in mathematical skills in these two groups of students, and compares their initial mathematical knowledge with their performance in a first year mathematics course. |
