Makale Özeti:
|
There is ample research on student grouping at primary, middle and
high school level but it is a controversial issue for universities
educating the high and low achievers in the same classes, reflecting
confusion about whether scholarship and tuition fee students should
be taught together. This study aims to shed light on what the
student population at university thinks about heterogeneous
grouping after seeing effects of ability grouping, about which there
is almost no evidence. Students in an undergraduate department
who started the academic year at two different sections grouped
according to their prior achievement took courses in mixed ability
classes the following semesters. They were given a questionnaire in
three intervals asking them about their expectations and opinions of
grouping before and after mixing and then after one year of study.
45 students responded to any two questionnaires and 15 responded
to all three questionnaires. For the repeated measures design,
Friedman test was carried out to see the change of ideas from time1
to time3 and Mann-Witney U test was used to see the differences in
ideas between scholarship students and tuition-fee students. MannWhitney
U test was carried out to test whether there was a
difference in the GPAs of scholarship and tuition-fee students
between time1 and time3. Students expressed a change in their
attitudes about achievement and how the other group influenced
them. GPAs of high ability students increased after they started
being in educated in mixed ability class, realizing the fears of low
achievers.
