Impact of Different Types of Cooperative Learning on Cross-Ethnic and Cross-Sex Relationships.
Warring, Douglas; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v77 n1 p53-59 Feb 1985
These studies with sixth and fourth graders compared effects of different learning conditions on student relationships. Results indicated that intergroup cooperation promoted more positive cross-sex and cross-ethnic relationships than did intergroup competition. Relationships formed within cooperative learning situations did generalize into unstructured class, school, and home activities. (Author/BS)
