“A system whereby students are
separated into different groups or
classes according to test scores or
relative scholastic abilities, as to
assure that gifted students are not
inhibited by slower learners and so
that slower learners will get more
attention by the teacher.”
 Theories

Kulik and Arbor Visio Slavin (1990)

(1992),
“A group arrangement in which the
students are separated in their class
placement based on their academic
competence is defined as ability
grouping.”
and Tieso (2005)
“The student's demonstrated
performance, the degree of prior
experience, and the teacher's initial
evaluation of the student's level of
preparation, are used to measure
ability.”
 Why?

 Increases pace Individual attention Boosts confidence

 Conclusion
To sum up, many educators say that ability grouping provides
teachers and also students a better learning environment.
Furthermore, equality in education does not require that all students
have the same experiences. Rather, education in a democracy
guarantees that everyone should have an equal chance to realize their
potential and to learn as much as they can. The goal of an adequate
education must be to create effective learning experiences for all
students.
