Spring 2026 Lecture
Techniques for fostering productive collaboration in classrooms will be discussed along with the evidence for their educational effectiveness. The course will be research focused. Truth-wins, most-competent-member, and average-member models for comparing group performance to individual performance will be described. The goal will be to have students learn how to implement successful collaborative activities in classrooms while also developing the ability to further research in the field. In addition to course readings and class participation, students will be expected to propose a research study related to collaborative learning with emphasis on the literature review.
