Sloane, F. C. (2003). An assessment of Sorensen's model of school differentiation: A multilevel model of tracking in middle and high school mathematics (A. B. Sorensen). Dissertation Abstracts International, 64 (04), 1230. (UMI No. 3088788)
Sorensen wrote then “nearly all [tracking] studies relate a pattern of organizational differentiation to achievement or some other performance measure, without describing the mechanisms that would account for the predicted relationship. Despite the importance of Sorensen's theoretical framework in and to the study of tracking it still awaits rigorous multilevel testing. This dissertation serves to shed some light on critical conditions about the development and testing of multilevel statistical models in ways that help us to construct multilevel theory in an empirically testable manner.
