Background
Ability grouping is supposedly undesirable because it leads to deficits in academic self-concept and academic achievement.
Ability grouping appears to be justifiable for its improvement of teaching and learning in schools, perhaps more so in a collectivist culture.

Purpose of study
The objective of the present study was to assess the effects stemming from ability grouping so as to throw more light on the debate about the benefits and problems associated with ability grouping among Hong Kong junior high school students.

The supposed benefit of ability grouping would stem largely from teachers’ tailoring their instruction for a homogeneous group of students, who can benefit from cooperation, mutual facilitation, and studying at the same pace in class.
( Lou, Abrami, & Spence, 1990)

(Gamoran et al., 1995; Oakes, 1985; Pallas, Entwisle, Alexander,& Stluka, 1994)
Ability grouping does not provide students with equal chances of achievement, particular when they receive different instructions and treatments from teachers and schools.

The student in the high-ability group has better conduct, learning strategy, educational expectation, and chance for university enrollment, and receives more attention, support, and encouragement from teachers and parents.
( Hallinan, 1996; Kerckhoff & Glennie, 1999)

In the academic year of 1998-1999, the study involved a survey of 2,720 eighth and ninth graders.

Results

Ability grouping had a slightly negative effect on the student’s self-esteem, test anxiety and a positive effect on academic self-concept.
Hypothesis 1
![Page 20: Academic outcomes of ability grouping among junior high school students in hong kong](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062419/557e2899d8b42ae1408b5382/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
This table show that academic self-concept, but not self-esteem and test anxiety, significantly contributed to the student’s subsequent academic achievement, especially average marks and marks in English.
Hypothesis 2

![Page 21: Academic outcomes of ability grouping among junior high school students in hong kong](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062419/557e2899d8b42ae1408b5382/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The table showed that parents’ education did not have a significant effect on students’ placement in an ability-grouped class.

Reflection
Future researchers can assess the short- and long-term impacts of ability grouping on parents, teachers, schools, and society as a whole.
Future researchers can evaluate how ability grouping can affect social inequality, society mobility, social solidarity, and economic development.
