Help Seeking in Elementary Classrooms: An Observational Study.
Nelson-Le Gall, Sharon; Glor-Sheib, Susan
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v10 n1 p58-71 Jan 1985
This study explored how elementary students employ help seeking as a means of problem solving in the classroom. In-depth naturalistic observations were made of high-, average-, and low-ability students in first, third, and fifth grade reading and math classes. Implications for children's achievement, learning, and social adjustment are discussed. (Author/BS)
