Academic Achievement of Elementary School Children in Small-Group versus Whole-Class Instruction.

Sharan, Shlomo; And Others

Journal of Experimental Education, v48 n2 p125-29 Win 1979-80

Academic achievement of pupils working in small cooperation groups was compared to that of students taught in the traditional whole-class approach. Pupils in grades 2, 4 and 6 from small-group classrooms excelled on high level items; the groups did not differ on items measuring low level cognitive functioning. (Author/GSK)
