An Analysis of Group Interaction and Mathematical Errors in Heterogeneous Ability Groups.

Webb, Noreen M.

British Journal of Educational Psychology, v50 pt3 p266-76 Nov 1980

Investigated group interaction and mathematical errors of 11th-grade students working individually and in four-person heterogeneous ability groups. Averaging over all types of errors, high-ability students did best in individual conditioning, low-ability students did best in group conditioning, and medium-ability students did equally well in both.
