The Interaction of Field Independence with Small-Group Instruction in Mathematics.

McLeod, Douglas B.; Adams, Verna M.

Journal of Experimental Education, v48 n2 p118-24 Win 1979-80

This study examined the interaction between field independence and two treatments: small group and individual mathematics instruction. There was significant interaction when achievement was the dependent variable, but not when student ratings of the course were used. The interaction was due more to general ability than cognitive style. (Author/GSK)
