Module 2

The statement "Students should be grouped according to ability" brings up an extremely controversial discussion. The only way to prove whether this is true or false is to research and study by experimenting. There will need to be a controlled group experiment where they group the high ability students together and the lower achieving students together. This study was done by the UCONN Gifted Educators.

I chose this article because of the highly qualified individuals that researched the topic and studied the topic. They state that higher achieving students who are grouped together proved that they accelerate faster in a task than the lesser achieving students. The lower achieving students are not harmed at all by grouping and actually can gain knowledge and self esteem. They can gain academic ground by this which allows them to work at a higher rate.
