Description

Reassessing 'Ability' Grouping offers a comprehensive analysis of the impact of attainment grouping on pupil outcomes, teacher effectiveness and social equality. Based on large-scale empirical research in British secondary schools, this book provides a rigorous conceptual framework for understanding the complex relationships between ability grouping, educational attainment and social background. The authors draw on both existing literature and their own research to examine the practicalities of classroom practice and offer recommendations for improved teaching methods. With detailed analysis, illustrative tables and graphs, and quotes from teacher interviews and pupil focus groups, this book provides a nuanced appraisal of the international field on attainment grouping. This book is an essential read for practitioners, policymakers and students in education and social justice, offering new insights into the complex issues surrounding ability grouping and its effects on pupil outcomes.
