The effects of student-centered vs. teacher-centered instruction on language scores on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills in a 6th/7th grade
Abstract
Eighty-one students in a sixth grade class learned Spelling, Capitalization, Punctuation, and Usage in a traditional, teacher-centered classroom. As seventh graders they were introduced to a student-centered composition workshop in which these language skills were taught on an as-needed basis to the class or individuals. Their scores on the Language Arts section of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, Subcategories of Spelling, Capitalization, Punctuation, and Usage as well as the composite Total scores for the section are compared to the scores of twenty-one like students in traditionally taught sixth and seventh grade classes to determine the effects of the student-centered workshop method on the test scores. Results show no significant positive difference at the 0.05 level.
