Direct linkMcIntosh, Kent; Barnes, Aaron; Eliason, Bert; Morris, Kelsey – Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, 2014
The problem of racial and ethnic discipline disproportionality is both long-standing and widespread. Educators must address this issue by identifying rates of discipline disproportionality, taking steps to reduce it, and monitoring the effects of intervention on disproportionality. The purpose of this guide is to provide a reference for…

The study was designed to investigate: (1) the relative effectiveness of three techniques for teaching verbal problem solving to general education mathematics students in a junior college; and (2) the relationships between various student variables and problem-solving ability after treatment. Three classes (N=72) at Florida College were randomly…

Student Typologies as a Means of Characterizing Individual Differences among Low and High Achievers.
Kowalski, Patricia S. – 1987
A method of graphing multivariate data, called the star plot, is very useful in educational contexts because it provides teachers and guidance counselors with information not present in unsupplemented student achievement data. The utility of the method can be seen in analysis of data from a study of factors related to the problem-solving ability…
