Cross-National Achievement with Differential Retention Rates.
Miller, M. David; Linn, Robert L.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v20 n1 p28-40 Jan 1989
Data from the Second International Mathematics Study indicated that the retention rates of countries accounted for some achievement differences. However, achievement differences for the more able students across countries were not related to the rate at which countries retained students. Instead, variables such as opportunity to learn were needed. (MNS)
