Giving and Receiving Explanations in Cooperative Learning Groups.
Ross, John A.; Cousins, J. Bradley
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n1 p103-21 Mar 1995
Examined patterns of giving and receiving explanations in three mixed-ability student groups (grades 7-10) working on problem-solving tasks. Groups were modeled after the cooperative learning approach, Student-Teams Achievement Divisions. Students infrequently sought explanations or received inadequate explanations, and explanation givers did not monitor help-seekers' understanding of explanations. (79 references) (LP)
