Biracial Learning Teams and Race Relations in the Classroom: Four Field Experiments Using Teams-Games-Tournament
DeVries, David L.; Edwards, Keith J.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 3, 356-62, Jun 78
The effects of Teams-Games-Tournament (TG T), an instructional game employing biracial learning teams, on cross-racial friendships in integrated classes was examined in four experiments involving 558 students in grades 7-12. Sociometric measures and chi-square analyses indicated that TGT was an effective means of increasing cross-racial friendship in integrated classes. (Author/JAC)
