The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Teacher interventions in small group work in secondary mathematics and science lessons (2016, background): “Several studies suggest that teachers should withhold queries regarding the content of the task and instead ask general questions, such as inviting contributions (Baines, Blatchford, and Chowne 2007; Blatchford et al. 2003; Myhill 2006).”
Improving pupil group work interaction and dialogue in primary classrooms: results from a year‐long intervention study (2009, methodology): “We address these issues elsewhere including the improbability of a ‘Hawthorne effect’ acting on the findings (Baines et al., 2007).”
Experimental Evaluations of Elementary Science Programs: A Best-Evidence Synthesis (2014, background): “Had the “micro-unit” experiment been the only one reported by Baines et al. (2007), it would have given substantially inflated indicators of the effectiveness of the treatment.”
‘Explain to your partner’: teachers' instructional practices and students' dialogue in small groups (2009, unknown): “A number of effective programs combine many of these elements (see Baines, Blatchford, & Chowne, 2007 ; Baines, Blatchford, & Kutnick, 2008 ; Blatchford, Baines, Rubie‐Davies, Bassett, & Chowne, 2006 ).”
