dc.description.abstractThis thesis is based on 905 students in 150 classrooms for grades four, five, and six in the Houston Independent School District for 1977. Peer effects was added to a model developed by Dworkin (1987) that employed teacher, student, and campus effects to explain student academic achievement (gain score). The results of this thesis are that there is a significant increase in the amount of variance explained in student academic achievement (gain score) for each grade, as well as when the overall caseis tested.
