To Group or Not to Group Academically Talented or Gifted Students?
Shields, Carolyn M.
Educational Administration Quarterly, v32 n2 p295-323 Apr 1996
Identifies administrative implications of preliminary findings from a Canadian longitudinal study comparing performance and attitudes of homogeneously and heterogeneously grouped gifted fifth graders. Although no statistically significant differences were found at the beginning of fifth grade, by year's end, five statistically significant differences were found--all favoring the homogeneously grouped students.
