The curriculum study, operating in the public schools of Ypsilanti, Michigan, served three- and four-year old disadvantaged children. The children were randomly assigned to one of three models: a programmed learning, direct-instruction approach, a child-centered nursery school approach, and an open-framework cognitive-developmental approach. At fifteen years, the intellectual achievements of children from all three groups did not differ. However, significant differences were found in social-behavioral outcomes. Structured learning youngsters reported lesser degree of sports participation, five times as many acts of property violence and twice as many acts of drug abuse or status offenses. Program model does make a difference in social adjustment of the children served.
