Controversy versus Concurrence Seeking in Multi-Grade and Single-Grade Learning Groups.
Johnson, David W.; And Others
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v22 n9 p835-48 Dec 1985
The effects of controversy and concurrence seeking and participation in age-homogeneous and age-heterogeneous cooperative learning groups were compared on achievement, achievement motivation, perspective-taking accuracy, and interpersonal attraction. In addition, the interaction among students (N=112 fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-graders) within the cooperative learning groups was observed. (Author/JN)
