Learning Achievements of Students in Cohort Groups.

Hebert, F. Ted; Reynolds, Katherine C.

Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v46 n3 p34-42 Fall 1998

Matched pairs of 177 adult students in a cohort degree program and 165 in a noncohort degree program were surveyed. Cohort groups had higher grade point averages and significantly higher affective learning. Males, younger students, and those early in their program gained the most from cohorts. Overall cohort gains were not as high as those in earlier studies. (SK)
