What One Middle School Teacher Learned about Cooperative Learning.
Leonard, Jacqueline; McElroy, Keith
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v14 n2 p239-45 Spr-Sum 2000
Examined what one middle school teacher learned as she directed her students to complete a structural engineering task as a cooperative learning activity. Found that students were on task and collaborated to accomplish the goal, but that the teacher's decisions about how tasks were set up, carried out, and completed affected students' interactions in cooperative groups.
