The effects of cooperative learning groups on mathematics achievement and attitude in pre-college algebra classes

In this study, the effects of cooperative learning on the mathematics achievement and attitude of pre-college algebra students were investigated. Campbell and Stanley's Design 10 was used with six classes totaling 106 elementary algebra students in a community college. All students spent at least 12 hours in a microcomputer laboratory working with the mathematics software, Derive. Students were randomly selected from within each class to work alone or to work cooperatively in pairs or triads.
