The relationship between Title I procedures, selection criteria, past mathematical performance, and duration enrolled, and mathematical achievement of pull-out Title I students was answered by three research questions: What is the relationship between mathematical achievement and coordinated instruction? What is the result of providing an additional year of Title I services to pull-out Title I students? What is the optimum number of years the Title I program is effective in raising mathematical achievement of pull-out Title I students? / Data collected from the Title I Teacher interview in conjunction with the spring 1980 CTBS, fall 1980 CTBS, and spring 1981 CTBS were analyzed for 450 pull-out students in grades two through six. / A descriptive approach using a multiple linear regression equation subdivided by b weights determined the relationship between coordinated instruction and mathematical achievement. / An experimental approach using a t test in a pretest-posttest design was used to determine the effect of an additional year. / An experimental design using analyses of variances on the pretest and the posttest determined the optimum number of years a Title I program was effective in raising mathematical achievement. / Data revealed the first two years of enrollment in a Title I program were the optimum years for achievement. The first year of enrollment was more beneficial than the second year of enrollment. / The mathematical achievement of primary students was greater than the mathematical achievement of intermediate students. After two years of enrollment, students showed progress, but to a lesser degree. / An additional year of Title I services sustained, but did not increase, the mathematical achievement of Title I students. / There was improved communication between the classroom teacher and the Title I teacher as a result of coordinated instruction, and there was a relationship, though negligible, between mathematical achievement and coordinated instruction. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-12, Section: A, page: 3869. / Thesis (Educat.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
