| Abstract | Meta-analysis of 17 studies was conducted to determine the effectiveness of retaining elementary school students in grade. Calculations with data from the 17 studies produced 217 effect size measures, most of which were measures of differences in reading and mathematics achievement. Some measures of differences in social adjustment, behavior, and attitude toward school were included in the sample of studies. Results provided support for the conclusions of an earlier study revealing that research evidence consistently points to negative effects of nonpromotion and arguing that proponents of retention plans are thereby obligated to show how their retentions plans will be successful when so many other plans have failed. Whereas some studies included in the meta-analysis showed positive outcomes of retention on academic achievement, the positive results appear to be found among middle-class, suburban, predominantly white samples and to be due to program characteristics related to the provision of individualized remedial help. It is concluded that such help can be provided through part-time pull-out programs, thereby avoiding the multi-billion dollar yearly expense of grade retention. (RH) |
