Two Wrongs May Make a Right...If They Argue Together!

Schwarz, Baruch B.; Neuman, Yair; Biezuner, Sarit

Cognition and Instruction, v18 n4 p461-94 2000

Investigated the cognitive gains of interacting pairs of Grade 10 students who show low levels of competence and fail to solve a task individually but who improve when working in peer interaction. Found that this phenomenon may occur when the two students disagree, have different strategies, and active hypothesis testing is made possible. (JPB)
