Gross, M.U.M., (2000). To group or not to group: is that the question?
Vision; v.16 n.1 p.18-26; April 2000.
As director of GERRIC at the university of NSW, Miraca Gross, strongly argues for ability-grouped education for academically gifted students. Gross lists advantages and disadvantages of ability grouping, addresses myths surrounding ability grouping and cites studies that show improved self-esteem in students when enrolled in selective schools or classes. Gross argues that age grouping is a relatively new phenomenon that is based on flawed assumptions that age is related to development, citing five research examples that reinforce her position.
