The Effects of Persistence and Small Group Interaction during Computer-Based Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hooper, Simon – Computers in Human Behavior, 2003
Compared the effects of grouping sixth grade students with different levels of persistence on their ability to learn in cooperative learning groups while working at the computer. Reports results that indicated that average persisters interacted more than either high or low persisters and discusses implications for forming effective cooperative…

The Effects of Single- and Multiple-Window Presentation on Achievement during Computer-Based Instruction.
Benshoof, Larry A.; Hooper, Simon – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1993
Investigates the effects of single- and multiple-window displays on the achievement of fourth-grade students during computer-assisted instruction by applying research-based window design guidelines. Results showed that, although there were no differences in window use, high ability students in the single window treatment demonstrated higher…

Effects of Peer Interaction during Computer-Based Mathematics Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hooper, Simon – Journal of Educational Research, 1992
Effects of group and individualized mathematics instruction were investigated in high and average ability elementary students, noting the impact of ability grouping on achievement. Students instructed in pairs scored higher on posttests than those working alone. Ability grouping influenced the nature of intragroup interaction. Generating and…

The Effects of Cooperative Learning and Learner Control on Students' Achievement, Option Selections, and Attitudes.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Singhanayok, Chanchai; Hooper, Simon – Educational Technology Research and Development, 1998
Investigates the effects of studying alone or in cooperative-learning groups on the performance of high and low achievers, using either learner- or program-controlled computer-based instruction. Participants were 92 sixth-grade students. Results suggest that cooperative learning provides beneficial effects, and imply a need for software designers…

The Effects of Cooperative versus Individual Videodisc Learning on Student Performance and Attitudes.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Simsek, Ali; Hooper, Simon – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1992
Describes a study that compared the effects of cooperative and individual learning on fifth and sixth grade student performance and attitudes during interactive videodisc instruction for science. The use of heterogeneous ability groups is discussed, time on task is examined, and further research is suggested. (22 references) (LRW)

The Effects of Group Composition on Achievement, Interaction, and Learning Efficiency during Computer-Based Cooperative Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hooper, Simon; Hannafin, Michael J. – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1991
Describes a study of sixth and seventh grade students that investigated the effects of cooperative group composition, student ability, and learning accountability on achievement, interaction, and instructional efficiency during computer-based instruction. Pretests and posttests are described, data analysis is explained, and recommendations for…
