Talk:Increasing Student Achievement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I made a mistake: the study is called one thing, and the advocacy web site citing the study is called another thing.
- RAND study: Improving Student Achievement: What State NAEP Test Scores Tell Us
- League of Education Voters web site: Increasing Student Achievement: What Research Tells Us
I shall now attempt to correct my error. Elabro 14:37, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
While googling opposing views I found this:
- The best studies that concentrate on differences in performance across individual classrooms with varying numbers of students and that separate out other possible influences on student performance offer no support whatsoever for general gains in achievement through class size policies. [1]
Seems like their are two diametrically opposing views on the issue of class size:
- decrease class size / have fewer students per teacher
- it doesn't really matter
Does Wikipedia touch controversies like this? The science is related to educational reform, school budgets and education law. Elabro 15:05, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
