A Study of Academic Time-on-Task in the Elementary School.
Rich, H. Lyndall; McNelis, Mary J.
Educational Research Quarterly, v12 n1 p37-46 1987-88
Using 489 students and 132 teachers in six elementary schools, the current use of elementary school time was evaluated. Allocated time for academic learning, students' time-on-task, and teacher traits related to task time were measured. Significant differences based on sex and race, but not on grade level, were found.
