Detracking and Its Detractors: Flawed Evidence, Flawed Values.
Slavin, Robert E.
Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n3 p220-21 Nov 1995
High-track/low-track studies almost invariably conclude that students gain from being in high-ability groups and lose from being in low-ability groups. Track/no-track studies find achievement effects approaching zero for high, average, and low achievers. Brewer, Rees, and Argys's own data provide little evidence for maintaining ability grouping.
