Classroom Environments and the Stratification of Pupils' Ability Perceptions.

Mac Iver, Douglas

Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n4 p495-505 Dec 1988

The effects of classroom practices on stratification of students' self-perceptions of math ability were estimated in 67 upper elementary math classes (N=1,612 students) from predominantly White, middle-class communities. Results suggest that the effects of task structure depend on the actual dispersion of ability levels in the class. (SLD)
