Blumenfeld, Phyllis C., Marx, Ronald W., Soloway, Elliot, Krajcik, Joseph·1996·Educational Researcher

Abstract

Peer learninghas been_suggested by many as an edu-catiortar"""innovation that can trajisiorm students ' learning experiences. Policymakers and researchers see small group work as a way to improve attitudes to-ward school, foster achievement, develop thinking skills, and promote interpersonal and intergroup relations. Yet, like most other simple suggestions such as lengthening the school year or assigning more homework, learning from peers in cooperative or collaborative groups is complex and difficult to achieve. When practiced in an uninformed manner, it can stigmatize low achievers, exacerbate status differences, and create dysfunctional interactions among students. There are ways to overcome these problems, but none assure unqualified success and none can be applied as a recipe. Rather,-the_ways_to overcomejhese problems must be adapted to the unique circumstances of students, curriculum, and context. Creating_successfuI-group work is

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
