Intellectual Status and Intellectual Growth Again
Werts, C. E.; Hilton, T. L.
American Educational Research Journal, 14, 2, 137-46, Spr 77
To correct for measurement error in the correlation of student status with achievement gain, the simplex model was used. Results supported the authors' hypothesis that status and gain are correlated. Students who start out as low achievers may need more help over time to maintain the same academic growth as higher achievers. (Author/MV)
