Group Work in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics: Consequences of Ignoring Gender and Race.
Rosser, Sue V.
College Teaching, v46 n3 p82-88 Sum 1998
If dynamics of gender and race in the science classroom are understood and used effectively, group work may enhance learning for all students, especially women and students of color; if ignored or misunderstood, group work may detract from or inhibit learning. Group size/selection, roles/leadership, assignments/grading, student resistance, and interaction of gender and race are discussed. (MSE)
