Problem Solving in Video-based Microworlds: Collaborative and Individual Outcomes of High-Achieving Sixth-Grade Students.
Barron, Brigid
Journal of Educational Psychology, v92 n2 p391-98 Jun 2000
Investigates the effect of collaboration on problem-solving performance and learning in the context of a complex, video-based mathematics problem. High-achieving 6th-grade students (N=96) were assigned to collaborative or individual problem-solving conditions. Results reveal that students in the collaborative condition outperformed students in the individual condition on their initial attempt at the problem. (Contains 32 references and 3 tables.)
