Research that Benefits Children and Families—Uplifting Stories
I found an article about the positive effects of research on cooperative learning and achievement from an article by R. Slavin (1996). The article discusses how research done on cooperative learning on student achievement became so popular and revolutionary that "a recent national survey found that 79% of elementary teachers and 62% of middle school teachers reported making some sustained use of cooperative learning." The article goes on to say that although the research seems to be complete on the subject, there is still a necessity for further research.
I found this article very interesting even though it was geared toward an older age group. It is still interesting to see that research does have a place in our society, we just need to be careful how it is completed.
Thanks,
