Question

Research on tracking has found all of the following except a. less is expected of lower-track students, so their academic performance is lower. b. students in the lower tracks learn less because they are taught less. c. tracking has no real impact on student performance after elementary school. d. even students with the same test scores are put into different tracks according to their race and social class

Answer 1

Answer:

. c. tracking has no real impact on student performance after elementary school.

Explanation:

Tracking is a method often applied in education system, in which there is separation of students by academic potential such as observed ability, IQ, or achievement status into various categories for course or specific classes and curriculum within a school.

Those with low scoring ability are placed on lower tracks, those with average academic potentials are placed in the middle tracks, while the top performers are generally placed in higher tracks.

The higher the tracks, the better and relatively wider the subject being taught.

Hence, research on tracking has found all of the following except "tracking has no real impact on student performance after elementary school."
