The effects
of within-class grouping on student achievement and other outcomes
were quantitatively integrated using one set of 145 effect sizes
exploring grouping versus no grouping and a set of 20 effect sizes
related to homogeneous versus heterogeneous ability grouping. Overall,
results favored homogeneous grouping. (SLD)
