IMPROVE: A Multidimensional Method for Teaching Mathematics in Heterogeneous Classrooms.
Mevarech, Zemira R.; Kramarski, Bracha
American Educational Research Journal, v34 n2 p365-94 Sum 1997
IMPROVE, a method for teaching mathematics in heterogeneous classrooms based on social cognition theories, was developed and tested in studies involving 247 and 265 seventh graders. IMPROVE uses metacognitive activities, peer interaction, and feedback-corrective enrichment. Results of both studies showed that IMPROVE students significantly outperformed nontreatment controls.
