Question 15 • Social Problems 1: A World in Crisis (IS)

What is the BEST argument for grouping students by ability?

Answer

A

This is how schools have always been organized, and it works well enough.

B

This helps make up for the fact that many schools have not really been desegregated.

C

The pace of the classroom can be set to match the students, benefiting all students.

D

Those with higher socioeconomic status are more likely to be placed in higher groups.

Explanation

The strongest argument for grouping students by ability is that instruction can move at a pace suited to students’ current learning needs. This can help students who need more time as well as those ready to move ahead. Choice C states this potential benefit; the other choices describe tradition, a concern about segregation, or unequal placement rather than a benefit of ability grouping.
