Effects of Multigrade and Multi-Age Classes Reconsidered.
Veenman, Simon
Review of Educational Research, v66 n3 p323-40 Fall 1996
D. Mason and R. Burns (1996) have concluded that multigrade classes have a slightly negative effect on students' achievement. However, a reanalysis, based on meta-analytic procedures, of the available studies shows the average weighted effect sizes to be essentially zero or close to zero. Contains 51 references. (SLD)
