Interdisciplinary Team Teaching versus Departmentalization in Middle Schools.
Alspaugh, John W.; Harting, Roger D.
Research in Middle Level Education Quarterly, v21 n4 p31-42 Sum 1998
Studied the effects of interdisciplinary teaming versus departmentalization on student achievement in middle schools. Found no significant differences for reading, math, science, and social studies achievement. Results suggest that team teaching merits further investigation as a potential strategy for mediating the student achievement loss associated with the transition to middle school. (Author)
