Title: A Longitudinal Analysis of a Developmental Economics Education Program
Abstract: This study evaluates the effects of a traditional DEEP project, K-12, over a three-year period. The authors use the results of the tests given during each year of the program and from this estimate test results for a control group. The study concludes that the DEEP process of in-service training and curriculum change can be extremely effective, but that in implementing such a program increased understanding may not always occur during the first or second year.
