Design of Technology-Based Information-Referenced Grouping Systems for Use in Large Urban Schools.

Bruno, James E.

Urban Review, v22 n3 p163-81 Sep 1990

Examines the use of a specific form of short-term grouping of students based on an information-referenced criterion for selection. This technology-based system is proposed as an alternative to grouping, which in many inner-city schools becomes de facto tracking. Summarizes advantages of information- over norm-referenced testing.
