Results indicate that measures of the social environment mediate and index much of the sociopsychological stimulation that bears, indirectly through perception, upon cognitive and attitudinal learning. (Author/MV)

The degree of implementation of the Adaptive Learning Environments Model in special education and its association with efficient use of student's time and other classroom resources and processes were examined. Primary grade teachers were able to establish and maintain the model at moderate to high criterion levels. (Author/DWH)

The science achievement scores of a large sample of 13-year-olds were regressed to test a psychological theory of educational productivity, and to explore the usefulness of the National Assessment of Educational Progress data for secondary analysis for policy purposes. (Author/GK)

The overall effects of cues, participation, and corrective feedback on classroom learning are estimated. The constancy of effects of these instructional qualities were explored across characteristics of students, and educational and contextual conditions. The results confirm the Dollard-Miller-Carroll-Bloom theory that has evolved during the past…

Similarities between regression analysis and analysis of variance are noted and it is argued that the former has advantages over the latter. It is also argued that canonical correlation analysis is more suitable than factor analysis in certain cases. The argument is illustrated with four recent pieces of educational research. (DG)

Perceptions of the school learning environment were examined in relation to three independent variables: the number of fith graders in the school, the percentage of girls of the total number, and the composite SES level. (CK)

This research is an attempt to identify patterns of delinquency associated with school attitudes and behavior and specific aspects of each of these sub-cultures. (Author)

Paper presents a validation of the instruments developed for classroom measurement of the properties of Open Education. (Authors/MB)

To estimate correlation between motivation and achievement, correlations from a calibration sample of 22 studies and a validation sample of 18 studies were analyzed using analysis of variance and regression techniques. Grade level was the only significant student characteristic; motivation and achievement were more highly correlated in later…
