The Influence of Categories of Cumulative Folder Information on Teacher Referrals of Low-Achieving Children for Special Educational Services.

Giesbrecht, Margaret L.; Routh, Donald K.

American Educational Research Journal, v16 n2 p181-87 Spr 1979

Artificial cumulative folders were constructed for eight fourth grade boys and examined by teachers. Each folder contained varied information on previous misbehavior, race, and parents' educational attainment. Results showed that teachers were most influenced by comments concerning behavior when judging whether the student needed special educational help. (MH)
