The Role of a Feedback-Corrective Procedure in Developing Mathematics Achievement and Self Concept in Desegregated Classrooms.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mevarech, Zemira, R. – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1986
The extent to which a teaching method that emphasizes Mastery Learning Strategies facilitates the learning of low and high socioeconomic status children in desegregated classrooms was studied. Participants were 117 seventh graders in desegregated mathematics classes in an Israeli junior high school. (BS)

Rosenblum, Yeshayahu; Markovits, Arieh – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1976
Two types of bioloby textbooks were tested by 232 culturally disadvantaged seventh grade students in Israel. The reading material was written in either scientific prose or a longer narrative style. Reading ability was similar for all subjects. Reading comprehension and student preferences were measured. (GDC)

The Cumulative Effect of Ability Grouping on Mathematical Achievement: A Longitudinal Perspective.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cahan, Sorel; And Others – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1996
The regression-discontinuity design was used to study the cumulative effect of ability grouping in mathematics in Israeli junior high schools. Results from a final sample of 1,169 seventh graders show that placement in ability groups increases the gap between students at different grade levels. (SLD)

Scientification of a School Subject and Students' Affective Response.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Blum, Abraham – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1979
Students ranked 15 subjects separately by importance, usefulness, and interest. As expected, academic subjects were rated highly and agriculture was rated poorly. Students in experimental classes using the discovery approach rated agriculture significantly more highly, indicating that an experimental curriculum can change the image of school…
