Coursework Mastery and School Success: Gender, Ethnicity, and Poverty Groups within an Urban School District.
Farkas, George; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v27 n4 p807-27 Win 1990
Coursework-mastery test scores for all middle school students in a school district were used to test the narrowly meritocratic hypothesis that course-grade differentials for gender, ethnicity, and poverty groups can be accounted for by the differential coursework mastery of these groups. Samples ranged from 1,124 to 8,381 seventh graders and eighth graders. (SLD)
