Student Teams and Comparison among Equals: Effects on Academic Performance and Student Attitudes.

Slavin, Robert E.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n4 p532-38 Aug 1978

This study investigated the effects of level of reward (recognition based on team vs individual performance) and comparison of student quiz scores (with homogeneous groups vs with entire class) on student achievement and attitudes. Team reward and comparison with equals enhanced time on task but no academic achievement effects were found. (Author/GDC)
