Determining whether cooperative learning is taking place in small groups
Small Group Learning in a Biology High School Classroom: A Case Study.
Small group work is becoming more and more prevalent throughout all levels of education. This cooperative learning requires much research in order to determine what students are truly garnering from these assignments. Utilizing secondary data from Nieswandt and McEneaney, analysis of four tasks will be done to determine how one specific group of tenth grade biology students is working together. The case study hopes to yield information relating to gender stereotypes, such as division of labor, within small groups completing science projects.
