Small-Group Discussion in Philosophy 101.
Glidden, Jock; Kurfiss, Joanne Gainen
College Teaching, v38 n1 p3-8 Win 1990

In a philosophy course, small-groups work on a specific philosophical problem. Group work was as effective as traditional lecture in three cases and more effective in two cases. (MLW)
