Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This study is based on the hypothesis that children make greatest individual progress under a system of achievement grouping. Such a plan is not to be confused with ability grouping. When children are grouped according to their achievement, it is possible, and even likely, for a child of low average ability to be in the same group with children of great ability because he is achieving at a high rate.
