in-Grade Retention of Students in Jordanian Public Schools, Grades 4 Through 6

Abstract

dc:description

This study was designed to investigate the practice of in-grade retention in Jordanian public schools, grades 4 through 6. Retention practices were chosen to determine the numbers of students facing problems in regular school programs and to determine the types of problems displayed by these students. The Minister of Education was interviewed and provided current information on the rules guiding retention at grade level. Seventy-eight (78) administrators and principles were also interviewed. They responded to questions on structured interview schedules developed by the researcher concerning rules guiding retention at grade level, the percentages of students retained during the 1983-84 school year, problems encountered in the classroom, assistance available to teachers, and additional assistance desired.
