Hart, Lynn C.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v24 n2 p167-71 Mar 1993
Examined cognitive processing and performance of 12 average seventh-grade students during cooperative problem solving. Factors that impeded performance included lack of an experiential framework, imposition of unrequired restrictions, lack of individual monitoring of cognitive activity, and unproductive beliefs. Factors that enhanced performance included group collaboration and group monitoring. (MDH)
