Ability X Treatment Interaction Effects on Children's Learning in Large-group and Small-group Approaches.

Peterson, Penelope L.

American Educational Research Journal, v18 n4 p453-73 Win 1981

Two teachers taught a unit to two classes of students. High- and low-ability students did better in the small group approach, while medium ability students did better in the large group. Analyses of group processes indicated students benefited from peer tutoring processes which occurred in small groups. (Author/DWH)
