Toward a Knowledge Base for School Learning.

Wang, Margaret C.; Haertel, Geneva D.; Walberg, Herbert J.

Review of Educational Research, v63 n3 p249-94 Fall 1993

Identifies and estimates the influence of educational, psychological, and social factors on learning, using evidence from 61 research experts, 91 meta-analyses, and 179 handbook chapters and narrative reviews. Results suggest an emergent base for school learning, with proximal (psychological, instructional, and home environment) variables exerting more influence than distal (demographic, policy, and organizational) variables.
