- W3174637745 abstract "AbstractThe Department of Construction Economics, University of Pretoria, offers three-year BSc programmes in Quantity Surveying (QS) and Construction Management (CM). Both programmes have a main entry threshold of an Admission Points Score (APS) of 30, based on school performance. The need to improve first-year students’ marks and the throughput rate of enrolled students brings the validity of the current threshold requirements under scrutiny. A previous study found that QS students from 2010 to 2015 with higher APS and better marks in Mathematics and Natural Science consistently outperformed students with lower marks in aspects such as average first-year marks, likelihood to qualify in three tears and to qualify with distinction. This new study compared the performance of CM students against their APS as the independent variable. The study found that for CM students, similarly to QS students, a higher APS correlated with better first-year performance. The correlation of performance was more varied, and the regression lines’ gradient tends to be flatter than for QS students. The study’s findings are important for the department to make informed decisions about amending future entry threshold levels. The findings also add to the existing generic body of knowledge on comparing school level performance with undergraduate performance.KeywordsAPSConstruction managementSchool performanceSouth AfricaUndergraduate performance" @default.
