Enhancing Students' Helping Behavior during Peer-Mediated Instruction with Conceptual Mathematical Explanations.
Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others
Elementary School Journal, v97 n3 p223-49 Jan 1997
Explored methods for helping students generate conceptual mathematical explanations during peer-mediated learning activities. Three groups (one with training in elaborated help, one with additional training in providing conceptual explanations, and one control) were compared after 18 weeks on mathematics achievement. Found that students with training in conceptual explanation-giving had highest achievement levels. (EV)
