Moreover, in the United States the analysis by Hamilton and her colleagues (1995) of a large scale national test (NELS:88) provides further food for thought in suggesting that achievement patterns in science were much more heterogeneous than in math and that [i]n science, a far greater number of factors was required to account for student performance differences (p. 577).	cache/epaa-434.pdf	txt/epaa-434.txt
