In Search of a More Effective Interaction Pattern in Biology Laboratories.

Okebukola, Peter A.

Journal of Biological Education, v18 n4 p305-08 Win 1984

Examined the effectiveness of cooperative, competitive, and individualistic interaction patterns in promoting acquisition of science process skills during biology laboratory activities. Results (from 720 secondary students--352 girls and 368 boys) show that competitive interaction was superior to cooperative and individualistic interaction patterns in promoting the development of process/laboratory skills.
