Debunking the Semestering Myth.
Raphael, Dennis; And Others
Canadian Journal of Education, v11 n1 p36-52 Win 1986
Achievement and student attitudes were studied using data from 250 secondary Ontario mathematics classes. The differences between semester schools versus year-long schools were examined. Hours of instruction and teachers' experience were also noted. Lower achievement was observed in semester classes, with no advantage in student attitudes. (Author/GDC)
