needs. Between class grouping: Tracking. Cooperative Learning. Other student interaction learning

structures.

EXCELLENCE VS. EQUITY IN EDUCATION

Homogeneous grouping of students concentrate on cognitive rather than affective/social objectives.

Educational focus is based on success in maximizing achievement test scores.

Heterogeneous grouping of students focus on educational quality based on equity regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status.

Page 4: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

INCLUSION OF STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Public Law 94-142 directs public schools to enroll handicapped students and educate them in the least restrictive environment.

Page 5: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

From most to least restrictive- Reynolds,1978

Full time residential school Full time special school Full time special class Regular class plus part-time special class Regular class plus resource room help Regular class with assistance by itinerant specialists Regular class with consultive assistance Regular class only

Page 6: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

Mainstreamed or inclusion students are likely to adjust well to regular classrooms if they perceive acceptance and support both from teachers and peers.

More on inclusion….

What is inclusion?

BETWEEN CLASS GROUPING: TRACKING

Homogeneous grouping by ability or achievement.

It is more common in Elementary schools.

Grouping by curriculum (Tracking) is more common in Junior and Senior High schools.

Page 9: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

AFFECTIVE AND SOCIAL EFFECTS OF TRACKING

- Social labeling and teacher attitude and expectation effects.

- Undesirable peer structures.

- Assignment to tracks tend to become permanent.

- Tracking minimizes contact between students with differing achievement. Another form of segregation?

THE JOPLIN PLAN

Students attend heterogeneous classes for most of the day but are

regrouped for reading instruction across grades.

Page 11: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

WITHIN CLASS ABILITY GROUPING:Small Homogeneous Grouping

STRUCTURAL APPROACH

Students are divided into groups based on their previous year’s performance.

SITUATIONAL APPROACH

Students groups are changed based on their needs during or after class activities.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING

Page 13: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

Cooperative learning provides a real-life model for real-life situations in

society.

Educational trends call for active construction of knowledge engaging students in meaningful and authentic tasks in a social setting.

Students groups work effectively for practice, learning facts/concepts, discussion and problem-solving.

WELL KNOWN COOPERATIVE LEARNING

PROGRAMS

LEARNING TOGETHER. (Johnson & Johnson,1994)

The main interest is getting students differing in achievement, race, ethnicity or gender working together in one task.

Page 17: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

Main Elements:

1- POSITIVE INTERDEPENDENCE

2- FACE-TO FACE INTERACTION

3- INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTABILITY

4- INSTRUCTING STUDENTS IN INTERPERSONAL AND GROUP SKILLS

5- POSITIVE CONFLICT AND CONTROVERSY

Page 18: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

Value of respect toward peers from different cultures, races, and gender result from constructive controversy

Page 19: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

OTHER COOPERATIVE LEARNING PROGRAMS:

GROUP INVESTIGATION (Sharan& Sharan,1992)

JIGSAW APPROACH (Aronson,et al,1980)

JIGSAW II (Slavin,1980) TEAMS-GAMES-TOURNAMENT/

STUDENT TEAMS-ACHIEVEMENT DIVISIONS

Page 20: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

Brief, informal cooperative learning structures

Think/pair share method

Numbered heads together

Pens in the middle

Group interviews

Page 21: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

LEARNING PROCESSES IN COOPERATIVE LEARNING

Giving explanations to other group members is positively correlated with achievement, both for the student explaining and the student receiving the explanation.

Interaction during small group activities have shown that students spend more time on task.

Page 22: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

Potential Advantages

- Subject matter knowledge is increased- Students value shared academic work- Students regulate their own resources- Students learn to manage others’ resources- Students develop dispositions toward challenging work- School tasks are similar to those outside of school- Group members serve as models for one another- Students develop further understanding/acceptanceof self and others.

Page 23: STUDENTS INTERACTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER LOOKING IN CLASSROOMS GOOD & BROPHY, 2000 CHAPTER 7 LUZ CARIME BERSH, Ph. D. National-Louis University

Potential Disadvantages

- Students misconceptions can be reinforced- Students shift dependency from teacher to peers- Students value more product more than process - Students receive differential attention and status- Some students may feel unable to contribute- Some students may feel they don’t need to contribute- Information may be held back to avoid “labeling”

Other interesting research-supported data on

Cooperative Learning

Cooperative learning methods seem to work better in upper levels,(4th and up)

Emphasis should be placed in cooperation while minimizing competition

Problem-solving problems may be high risk situations leading toanger/frustration

Some subject-areas (math) don’t work with Coop. Learning

Cooperative working skills need to be taught

OTHER STUDENT INTERACTION LEARNING STRUCTURES

Cross-age tutoring

Peer tutoring

Learning in Dyads
