Harker, Richard; Nash, Roy – 1997
In New Zealand, single-sex public schools are held in greater esteem by the community. Because single-sex public schools are more popular than coeducational public schools, the single-sex schools in larger population areas have selective admission policies to screen the large number of applicants. This paper argues that single-sex schools end up…

Evertson, Carolyn M.; Hickman, Randall C. – 1981
Research in classrooms must be sensitive to new dimensions of teaching tasks that emerge at the group level.

JUSTMAN, JOSEPH – 1967
RESEARCH FINDINGS ON ABILITY GROUPING ARE INCONCLUSIVE BECAUSE NEITHER HETEROGENEITY NOR HOMOGENEITY HAS BEEN DEFINED WITH SUFFICIENT CLARITY. THE TENDENCY IN THESE STUDIES HAS BEEN TO STRESS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PUPILS IN SUCH CLASSES RATHER THAN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CLASS AS A WHOLE. IN A STUDY OF 181 CLASSES (4,705 PUPILS) HOMOGENEITY WAS…

This paper traces the origins of educational tracking, streaming, or grouping to the period between the report of the Committee of Ten in 1894 and the publication of the Cardinal Principles of Education in 1918. The analysis of grouping, in its origin and in its consequences for students, concludes that its effect on the subject of English has…

Elder, Glen H., Jr. – 1970
This paper discusses the use of student groups in formal education. A model is proposed which involves the development of student interdependence on common tasks, the use of group incentives which may be earned through competition with a standard or with other groups, and the exchange of student resources in teaching and learning. In contrast to…
