Ku, Heng-Yu; Sullivan, Howard J.
Educational Technology Research and Development, v48 n3 p49-59 2000
Investigates the effects of group personalization of instruction on the mathematics achievement and attitudes of 72 fifth-grade Taiwanese students.

Students were blocked by ability level, then randomly assigned to a personalized or nonpersonalized version of an instructional program. (Contains 30 references.) (Author/AEF)
