Classroom Intellectual Composition and Academic Achievement.
Dar, Yehezkel; Resh, Nura
American Educational Research Journal, v23 n3 p357-74 Fall 1986
Assuming that the intellectual level of the classroom affects learning environment quality and student achievement, separating students into homogeneous groupings enriches the environment for high-resource students and impoverishes it for low-resource students. The converse occurs under heterogenous mixing. This argument is supported by data from two Israeli studies. (Author/BS)
