Sažetak
The research on the impact of the students’ cognitive status, conative status (characteristics of personality), level of the sport specific skills, motor status (abilities), and their secondary school grade point average on his/her progression in the higher education (the physical education teacher training) was carried out on a sample of 182 undergraduate students who had passed the entrance examination for admission to the Faculty of Physical Education in the 1993/94 academic year. The difference in 19 measured variables between the group of students enrolled in the third year of the study and of those who did not register in it was determined by the discriminant analysis. Neither univariate nor multivariate differences of results were statistically significant, except for the difference in the grade point average from the secondary school. The outcome suggests, as far as this stage of analysis is concerned, that the observed aptitude classification procedure failed to comprise fundamental factors responsible for the efficiency in studies at the Faculty of Physical Education in Zagreb. However, as the entrance selection procedure already reduced the considerable portion of variability of the employed variables, that is the least efficient and capable candidates were eliminated, a plausible speculation that prosperity in the higher education training and teaching could have been influenced by other factors than the examined ones, must be taken into consideration. That notion remains an issue for the further investigation.
