Boersma, Frederic J.; And Others
Journal of Special Education, v13 n4 p433-42 Win 1979
Changes in academic self-concept were measured by Student's Perception of Ability Scale in 50 learning-disabled students, 18 educable mentally retarded students receiving full-time remedial placement, and 83 regular-class students. Pre-post data collected over 12-month period revealed that full-time placement was accompanied by statistically significant increases in academic self-concept, especially in areas of reading/spelling and confidence.
