The Role of Cooperative Learning in Increasing Problem-Solving Ability in a College Remedial Course.
Dees, Roberta L.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v22 n5 p409-21 Nov 1991

Results indicated significant differences in favor of students using cooperative learning in solving word problems in algebra and geometry. (MDH)
