Von Harrison, Grant; Cohen, Arthur M. – 1969
The increasing use of upper-grade students as tutors for younger children has been viewed as a means of reducing the achievement gap that exists among culturally-disadvantaged children. However, research has indicated that the potential of such a tutorial arrangement is linked closely to the tutoring techniques used, and unless student tutors are…

Peer reviewedWood, Terry; Sellers, Patricia – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1996
Six classes received problem-centered mathematics instruction for two years in second and third grade. Results indicate that students in these classes scored significantly higher than students in traditional classes on standardized measures of computational proficiency and conceptual understanding. (TO)

Estes, Gary D.; Anderson, Judith I. – 1978
An empirical study was conducted in order to obtain treatment effect estimates with the Special Regression model for groups in which there was no treatment. General mathematics test scores were obtained from 730 ninth graders in city schools somewhat similar to Title I schools, but in which no special treatments were given. Hypothetical…

Issues and Technical Problems in Research and Evaluation Related to Innovative Mathematics Projects.
Myers, Sheldon S. – 1970
Even after a number of innovative programs and proposals have met selective criteria, the Educational Research Commission will have a difficult task in assigning priorities and spreading resources. This paper offers many suggestions for handling the problems in research and evaluation related to innovative mathematics projects, especially K-3. For…

Porter, Andrew C.; And Others – 1978
Defining practical significance in program evaluations is a difficult measurement problem which can only be solved by an intimate familiarity with the measures on which effects are estimated and their content relationship to the program goals. Past attempts to provide general solutions to the size of effect problem have relied on standardized…

Bereiter, Carl; Engelmann, Siegfried – 1966
This experiment was based on the assumption that the academic failure of the disadvantaged or middle class child is due to a failure of instruction and that if above-normal learning schedules were maintained, the second year of an enrichment program would not show the customary drop in gains from the first year. The subjects of this study were 43…

Hewett, Frank M.; And Others – 1967
To evaluate the effectiveness of an engineered classroom design, 54 educationally handicapped children were placed in six classrooms, each with a teacher and an aide. Each classroom was set up with three major centers: mastery-achievement, exploratory-social, and attention-response-order. Children were assigned tasks at centers in keeping with…
