Effects of spiral testing and review on retention and mathematical achievement for below-average eighth- and ninth-grade students
Two groups of below average eighth graders and ninth graders were tested using a traditional testing scheme and a spiral testing scheme. The ninth graders who were tested using the spiral approach scored significantly higher than the control group in a pre-algebra class on both a mid-semester test a...

| Zusammenfassung: | Two groups of below average eighth graders and ninth graders were tested using a traditional testing scheme and a spiral testing scheme. The ninth graders who were tested using the spiral approach scored significantly higher than the control group in a pre-algebra class on both a mid-semester test as well as a semester test. The eighth graders who were tested using the spiral approach scored significantly higher than the control group in a basic mathematics course on a mid-semester test. |
