“…Brookover, Thomas, and Paterson (1964) found a positive correlation between attainment and the learner's self-concept of ability, after controlling for intelligence. Bright but underachieving students, especially boys, possess more negative self-concepts than students who are equally bright and achieving at their ability level (Passow and Goldberg 1962;Shaw and Alves 1963). However, Purkey (1970), after an extensive review of the literature, concluded that studies into this area provide no conclusive evidence that self-concept has any influence on academic achievement, despite the widespread belief among educators that enhancing students' self-concept will boost educational progress.…”

“…Since parents, employers, and institutions of higher education would be expected to have important opinions about the conse quences of special education programs, their views should be regularly solicited in order that they might be used in program improvement. Passow and Goldberg (1962) reported a number of studies of ability grouping conducted under auspices of the Talented Youth Project. One of these investigations, reported only in preliminary form, was probably the most extensive experimental study ever conducted in this field.…”
