Learning Science while Constructing Learning Teams
Wood, Bonnie S.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v38 n5 p28-32 May 2009
Many science educators are proponents of cooperative learning, but struggle to find equitable and effective ways to build groups. In this article, the author describes her method for forming heterogeneous cooperative learning groups that is not only impartial, but also requires students to begin learning science on the first day of class. (Contains 1 figure.)
