Variability in Mat Results within the Field of Education

This study compared Miller Analogies Test scores for 100 applicants in each of 6 different disciplines within a typical education division ( N = 600). In descending order of mean scores, they included educational psychology, instructional technology, secondary education, educational administration, special education, and elementary education. One-way analysis of variance was computed. Significant differences involved two clusters of means, the first three areas and the last three. Since variability was noted among areas, more specialized and local norms might be useful.

Changes in Ability of Graduate Students in Education to Assess Own Test Performance as Related to Their Miller Analogies Scores

105 graduate students in education, classified into three levels of Miller Analogies Test scores, were asked to estimate their performances on three major tests on statistics. The accuracy of evaluations did not change over the three tests though it was related to their level on the Miller Analogies.
