Academically Talented Students' Achievement in a Flexibly Paced Mathematics Program.
Mills, Carol J.; And Others
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v25 n5 p495-511 Nov 1994
Third- through sixth-grade mathematically talented students (n=306) enrolled in a flexibly paced university mathematics course far exceeded the normative achievement gains expected over a one-year period. Restricting such students to a rigid instructional pace may have a deleterious effect on motivation and achievement. (64 references) (MKR)
