Effects of Single-Sex and Mixed-Sex Cooperative Interaction on Science Achievement and Attitudes and Cross-Handicap and Cross-Sex Relationships.
Johnson, Roger T.; And Others
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v22 n3 p207-20 Mar 1985
Fifth- and sixth-grade students (N=154) participated in a study which found that cooperative learning situations, compared to individualistic ones, promoted more positive cross-sex and cross-handicap relationships. It was also found that males achieved higher and had more positive attitudes toward science than did females. (Author/JN)
