Talk:Bloom's 2 sigma problem

notability
This appears to be a summary of the paper/book? I think this page needs some more references to satisfy WP:N. ErikHaugen (talk) 19:47, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * While that's partly true, the "problem" identified has vexed educators and influenced a significant amount of research. I agree that this would be more apparent with additional secondary sources that refer to the problem. I haven't time to do that right now, however. --Mr. Stein (talk) 17:48, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Intelligence citations bibliography for updating this and other articles
You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles to look at a bibliography of Intelligence Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in these issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by suggesting new sources through comments on that page. It will be extremely helpful for articles on human intelligence to edit them according to the Wikipedia standards for reliable sources for medicine-related articles, as it is important to get these issues as well verified as possible. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 01:29, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Implications?
The listed implications do not follow from the information presented on the page (or Bloom's work on this topic). Bloom does suggest that student aptitude matters less for mastery under mastery learning and tutoring, somewhat supporting the first implication (but this information in not provided on this page). Bloom and his students say nothing about technology or artificial tutors, nor is any such information presented on this page. I can't see how one-on-one tutoring implies a larger role of sociality for learning (and nothing on the page or in Blooms work on these instructional methods suggest this principle). One has to look to collaborative learning or specifically different social methods to make such an assertion. These implications need to be deleted and actual relevant implications listed. I also suggest that additional research challenging or confirming Bloom's assertion need to be included. At least, one has to speak of the limitations of this research (e.g., that is involves only short term, content specific learning).Robotczar (talk) 18:10, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Literature review needed
This Wikipedia article just talks about one article published 40 years ago, giving the false impression that the "2-sigma problem" is accepted as reality today. There's been a vast body of scientific literature published since on the efficacy of testing. The largest effect size I've seen claimed lately for SAT tutoring is "up to" 0.25 sigmas. Some studies claim there is no advantage at all to private tutoring. This page is so misleading about the current consensus that if it can't be updated, with reference to the current literature, it should be deleted, or given a disclaimer saying this article is not current science, but history of science.
