The Effects of Cooperative Learning and Learner Control on Students' Achievement, Option Selections, and Attitudes.
Singhanayok, Chanchai; Hooper, Simon
Educational Technology Research and Development, v46 n2 p17-33 1998
Investigates the effects of studying alone or in cooperative-learning groups on the performance of high and low achievers, using either learner- or program-controlled computer-based instruction. Participants were 92 sixth-grade students. Results suggest that cooperative learning provides beneficial effects, and imply a need for software designers to cater to high- and low-achievement learning styles. (Author/AEF)
