Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this issue, Betts and Shkolnik [Betts, J.R., & Shkolnik, J.L. (1999) The Effects of Ability Grouping on Student Math Achievement and Resource Allocation in Secondary Schools, Economics of Education Review, vol. 19, issue 1, p. 1-15] argue that studies that compare students in tracked versus untracked classes overestimate the impact of tracking on student achievement by not adequately controlling for student ability and motivation. In this paper, the authors discuss the shortcomings of their analysis and reinterpret their results. The data used by Betts and Shkolnik do not allow one to accurately classify tracked and untracked classroom, since identification of heterogeneous classes is impossible. They compare ability-grouped students in schools that report formally engaging in tracking to ability-grouped students in schools that track only informally. Our interpretation of their results suggests that there is little difference in student performance and resource allocation between schools thta formally and informally group students by ability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does education affect economic and social outcomes, and how can it inform public policy?Volume 3 of the Handbooks in the Economics of Education uses newly available high quality data from around the world to address these and other core questions. With the help of new methodological approaches, contributors cover econometric methods and international test score data. They examine the determinants of educational outcomes and issues surrounding teacher salaries and licensure. And reflecting government demands for more evidence-based policies, they take new looks at institutional feaures of school systems. Volume editors Eric A. Hanushek (Stanford), Stephen Machin (University College London) and Ludger Woessmann (Ifo Institute for Economic Research, Munich) draw clear lines between newly emerging research on the economics of education and prior work. In conjunction with Volume 4, they measure our current understanding of educational acquisition and its economic and social effects. Uses rich data to study issues of high contemporary policy relevance Demonstrates how education serves as an important determinant of economic and social outcomes Benefits from the globalization of research in the economics of education
Download or read book Sociological Landscape written by Dennis Erasga and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-28 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than the usual academic textbook, the present volume presents sociology as terrain that one can virtually traverse and experience. Each version of the sociological imagination captured by the chapter essays takes the readers to the realm of the taken-for-granted (such as zoological collections, food, education, entrepreneurship, religious participation, etc.) and the extraordinary (the likes of organizational fraud, climate change, labour relations, multiple modernities, etc.) - altogether presumed to be problematic and yet possible. Using the sociological perspective as the frame of reference, the readers are invited to interrogate the realities and trends which their social worlds relentlessly create for them, allowing them in return, to discover their unique locations in their cultures' social map.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most controversial educational practices among American public schools is the use of ability-tracking of students. Over the years, tracking has received harsh criticism. In fact, policymakers have launched initiatives to discourage tracking across the nation, and started recommending districts place students with different ability levels in the same classrooms (Wheelock 1992). Opponents argue that tracking not only fails to benefit students, but in racially integrated schools, low-track classes have an overrepresentation of minority students. Supporters of the gifted and talented programs maintain that heterogeneous classes inhibit bright students from learning, and that bright students only languish in mixed ability classes.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate goal of education is to empower future members of society to live successful and productive lives. The best way to do so is to ensure that all students are provided with the opportunities that will help them to grow to their fullest potential. One major aspect of education that has a formidable impact on student achievement and future prospects is implemented early on in a child's educational journey and can have lasting implications for good or for bad. Student ability tracking is a widely implemented practice that has been studied many times since the inception of compulsory education. However, very few studies have been conducted to determine the level of understanding of this practice in secondary schools and how the implementation of student ability grouping at the secondary level can impact the educational opportunities provided to students across perceived and identified ability levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of teacher perception of the students in homogeneously and heterogeneously grouped classrooms and how these perceptions impact the instructional decisions teachers make. For the qualitative study, data was collected using a survey of38 educators with 12 structured interviews. Participants are educators in one suburban school district. The length of teaching experience and content certification varied with teachers with less than five years of experience to over 30 years of experience. From the results of the study, there was evidence to suggest teachers do not have a shared definition of student ability grouping and also do not have a shared understanding of how and when students are originally ability grouped. Participant responses also demonstrated that, despite a lack of shared definition and belief that ability grouping is a legitimate indicator of academic ability, teachers still base instructional decision making on the course level or ability group they are assigned to teach.
