Radwilowicz, R. (1970). On the Function of Student Questions: A Methodological Report. Pedagogisk Forskning, Scand. J. educ. Res. 173‐183 The purpose of the article is: 1) to present the methodological aspects of the whole cycle of the author's research in this hitherto neglected field, and 2) to discuss the difference between the viewpoint of the author as to student questions and the other viewpoints. The author characterizes his own position as a ‘forming’ one.     

BETYDELSEN AV DEN TIDSMÄSSIGA PLACERINGEN AV KUNSKAP OM RESULTATET I ANSLUTNING TILL ÖVNING MED TVÅ TYPER AV INLÄRNINGSMATERIAL

This study was designed to investigate the cross‐cultural similarity of vocational interests as measured by the Strong Interest Inventory. An Icelandic version of the SII was administered to Icelandic college students studying medicine, business, library science, geology, biology, psychology, theology, and nursing. 290 first year students were tested, and 123 students approaching final exams of whom 80 were re‐tested two years later. Reliability coefficients for the scales (occupational themes, interests, occupations and the special scales) varied from 0.79 to 0.89. On the basis of the US norms 74‐83 percent of students were correctly classified into their actual professional group. The results indicate that US norms are valid for Icelandic college students and allow for satisfying prediction of educational and vocational choice. This may indicate that the US norms of the SII could be applicable for other Nordic college students. SII scale scores for all groups indicate identical interest structure for Icelandic and US groups of the same field of study.
