Gender Composition and Small-Group Learning in Fourth-Grade Mathematics.
McCaslin, Mary; And Others
Elementary School Journal, v94 n5 p467-82 May 1994
Examined fourth graders' affective experiences and achievement outcomes in small-group learning in mathematics. Students reported that personal experiences changed with increased exposure to their small group and were adaptively reconstructed upon delayed reflection. There were no results associated with individual student gender; group gender configuration emerged as an important dimension in students' reported helping behavior and affective experiences. (HTH)
