Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of heterogeneous and homogeneous grouping on the mathematical achievement of students in third grade. Participants were 16 third graders in a self-contained classroom, assigned to either small homogeneous or heterogeneous group for math instruction for 7 weeks. Pretest-posttest scores and growth of students in both groups were statistically analyzed to determine effect on student achievement. Results indicate that there was no statistically significant difference in effect on student math performance between the heterogeneous and homogeneous grouping types. Both grouping types resulted in comparable academic gains for students. There was not a significant difference between the two groups. Classroom implications are discussed.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of ability grouping vs. mixed ability grouping on the mathematics achievement of high, medium, and low ability fourth grade students. Achievement was measured by mean growth on California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) California Standards Tests (eSTs). The sample was composed of 704 fourth grade students from two elementary schools in the same Southern California school district. The research method chosen was a non-experimental quantitative retrospective study. Statistical analysis using a two-way ANOV A and t-tests was performed on three consecutive years oftest scores. Results showed that students of all ability levels experienced significantly higher achievement in homogeneously grouped classes. High ability students in heterogeneously grouped classes showed negative mean growth all three years of the study and medium ability students showed negative mean growth two of three years. Pacing, level of differentiation, and affect may play an important part in the effects of instructional grouping observed in the study. Keywords: ability grouping, homogeneous, heterogeneous, differentiation, pacing, affect, mathematics performance

Looney and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the effects of homogeneous and heterogeneous groupings in middle school mathematics on achievement. 6th and 7th grade students' mathematics scores on a standardized test over a three month period were compared to determine the effect, in any, on their academic progress. The data showed that although homogeneously grouped students' showed some modest academic gain among the higher ability students, lower ability students in a homogeneous group did not show any improvement in their score, and in some cases, to the contrary, their scores were lower.
Download or read book Classroom Composition and Pupil Achievement 1986 written by Yehezkel Dar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1986, this book addresses the controversial classroom dilemma of ability segregation versus integration. It presents an extensive review of the current literature and formulates a conceptual framework for analysing the social processes that affect classroom composition and their effects on academic achievement. Applying an innovative framework to two empirical studies of Israeli high schools, the authors highlight the profound implications for classroom organisation, and include an explanation of teachers’ attitudes to pedagogical issues and social influences. Sociologists, teachers and educational psychologists will find this a stimulating but practical study of ability grouping and streaming in schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the effects of ability grouping on fifth grade students at 47 elementary schools in a large urban school district. Using disaggregated standardized test data that statistically measures achievement growth, this study analyzes gains among students assigned to prior achievement quintiles as compared to three grouping strategies: homogeneous, heterogeneous with special classes for advanced and special education, and heterogeneous ability groups. The findings suggest that the grouping strategies used in these schools are effective for the students at these schools. Most significant is that, on average, low achieving schools are grouping students in ways that are exhibiting positive gains among low achievers. Conversely, schools with large populations of high achievers are grouping in ways that are making gains among high achievers. Average students show similar gains among all three grouping strategies. Overall, the research and data suggest the importance of using multiple data sources, knowledge of students and school culture, as well as pedagogy to determine appropriate grouping strategies for particular schools.

This study aimed to test the effect of ability grouping on Hong Kong children. A between-subjects design was used to investigate whether students' achievement in English would be affected by the practice of ability grouping 102 Hong Kong primary school children studying in Primary One took part in the investigation. All participants first undertook a pre-test that determined their ability level- high, average or low. 51 Students were then grouped homogeneously (HM) according to ability level while students from another 51 students were grouped in heterogeneous (HT) ability setting. After attending two English lessons on the topic of singular/plural noun, students completed the post-test and a survey on ability grouping. It was hypothesised that ability grouping would have positive effect on average and high ability students while low ability students would benefit more from heterogeneous grouping. The not significant effect between HM and HT groups, F(1,96)=0.210, p=0.648, and between the ability levels between two groupings, F(2,96)=0.020, p=0.980, found in this study failed to support the research hypotheses. The findings tended to support the work of Oakes (1985, 1995, 2005), Oakes and Lipton (1990) and Slavin (1987). Yet, it was suggested that no conclusion on the effectiveness of grouping on student learning could be reached. Further implications and recommendations were included in this research.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this investigation the students in fifth through eighth grades were placed in math classes based on their ability (homogenous grouping). MAP math test scores and teacher input were used to group the students by their ability. This treatment was implemented to see if there was a change in student achievement and to see if there were any student attitude changes about math. The post-treatment results indicated that students MAP test scores varied greatly for each individual but 82% of students increased their scores from the pre to post-treatment. The results indicated that the percent increase in MAP test scores were the highest during the pretreatment. The above grade level students had a 6.5% increase, at grade level had a 5.5% increase, and the below grade level had a 6.8% increase in their MAP test scores. During the post-treatment the group of students that were most affected by the ability grouping were the above grade level students. They had a 4.2% increase in their MAP test scores during the treatment year. The students that were at grade level had a 2.3% increase in their MAP test scores. The students that were negatively affected by the ability grouping were the below grade level students. They increased their scores by .3% in the treatment year. AIMSweb Concepts and Applications increased following the treatment from 8.1% to a 16% increase in the test scores. AIMSweb Computation scores decreased in overall percent gains from a 17.7% to an 11.1% following the treatment. Students' attitudes about math were more positive after the treatment but the students said that there was little benefit to their science class when they were in ability groped math class.

Book excerpt: The findings of a review of research into setting and streaming (ways of grouping pupils according to ability) in primary and secondary schools in Scotland are presented. The review was conducted according to the best evidence synthesis model, as set out by Slavin (1986). The review relied on findings of Slavin's meta-analyses, as well as adding studies which have been carried out since his reviews and studies that have incorporated qualitative findings. The review found that in primary schools, the strongest evidence for the effect of ability grouping was in mathematics. Pupils of all abilities gained from within-class ability grouping compared to whole-class mixed-ability teaching. In secondary school, where ability grouping is formed by setting (pupils are placed in ability classes for certain subjects only) or streaming (pupils remain in ability-based classes for all subjects), the social disadvantages of these forms of organization made ability grouping hard to defend. Yet mixed-ability grouping had its own drawbacks. Mixed-ability classes are hard to manage and teach. There was evidence that teachers aim lessons at the middle of the ability range, sometimes treating mixed-ability groups as though they were low-ability streams. Research showed that even teachers with substantial experience working with mixed-ability classes frequently use whole-class teaching methods which are inappropriate for mixed-ability groups. Overall, what goes on in classrooms seems likely to have more impact on achievement than how students are grouped. (Contains 133 references.) (WJC)
