摘要
The Skills Reinforcement Project (SRP) was designed to increase the basic skills of disadvantaged and minority youth in mathematics and language arts. Forty-five minority and economically disadvantaged sixth graders participated in a 110-h academic program on Saturdays and at a residential college during the summer. When compared to students of similar socioeconomic status, sex, and ethnicity, the SRP students made statistically greater gains on pre- and post-test measures of mathematics. Although not statistically significant, the gains made on the verbal measures were greater than those made by the comparison group. © 1993 Academic Press, Inc.
