Group Instruction as Effective as One-to-One Tutoring," Educational
Researcher 13(6), 4-16 (1984). Bloom wrote: "Using the standard
deviation (sigma) of the control (conventional) class, it was
typically found that the average student under tutoring was about two
standard deviations above the average of the control class. . . The
tutoring process demonstrates that MOST of the students do have the
potential to reach this high level of learning. I believe an
important task of research and instruction is to seek ways of
accomplishing this under more practical and realistic conditions than
the one-to-one tutoring, which is too costly for most societies to
bear on a large scale. This is the '2 sigma' problem."
