Achievement as a Function of Time Spent in Learning and Time Needed for Learning.
Gettinger, Maribeth
American Educational Research Journal, v21 n3 p617-28 Fall 1984
The causal effects of time spent in learning (TSL) and time needed for learning (TTL) on the reading and spelling achievement of 171 fourth and fifth grade students were investigated. TTL contributed significantly to achievement, and its direct effect was greater than TSL. Results also support a Carroll's learning model. (Author/BS)
