This study investigated the hypothesis that examining student performance one time in spring is an adequate method of assessing the effects of long summer breaks or the potential need for an extended school year. We examined the performanceand progressof students with learning disabilities and students with mild mental handicaps in mathematics computation at two points in time in spring. Results indicated that both types of students made gains in performance in mathematics computation until the end of the academic school year. However, students with mild mental handicaps continued to make slight increases in progress throughout the entire spring while students with learning disabilities experienced a decline in progress. Implications for practice and future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
