Evaluation of a Junior High School Program Designed to Improve Reading, Self-Concept, and Classroom Behavior.
Miller, Margery Staman
Two groups of seventh-grade students participated in a comparison of the effects of an experimental remedial reading program emphasizing positive self-concept and improved behavior and a control program. A total of 57 students participated in the thirty-week program. Results from the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, the Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test, and the Coopersmith Behavior Rating Form did not indicate significant differences between the experimental and control groups in reading competency, self-concept, or classroom behavior. Correlations among the variables did indicate interrelations among reading, self-concept, and classroom behavior. (Author/AA)
