Advancing the Science of Collaborative Problem Solving (2018, background): “Research in collaborative learning has shown that students in structured groups show better learning outcomes than those in unstructured groups (Gillies, 2008; Vogel, Wecker, Kollar, & Fischer, 2017).”
Teachers' reflections on cooperative learning: Issues of implementation (2010, methodology): “Gillies (2008), in a study of junior high school students' performance on a science-based learning activity, found that students performed better in those schools where teachers had been trained in how to establish cooperative learning activities in their curricula and students had been provided…”
Teacher interventions in small group work in secondary mathematics and science lessons (2016, background): “The skill to work collaboratively is well recognized as an important condition for productive group work (Gillies 2008; Mercer et al. 2004; Scott, Mortimer, and Aguiar 2006).”
Cooperative Learning: Developments in Research (2014, result): “Similar results have been reported by Gillies (2003, 2004, 2006, 2008) who has consistently found that students obtain higher learning outcomes and they are more willing to cooperate when they work in structured small groups where they are interdependently linked together so that all group members…”
Effects of Inquiry-Based Science Instruction on Science Achievement and Interest in Science: Evidence from Qatar (2012, background): “Nevertheless, students engage more effectively in classroom discourse when they are explicitly taught how to engage critically and constructively with each other's ideas, challenge and counterchallenge proposals, and discuss alternative propositions before reaching agreement are important if student”
Challenges for cooperative learning implementation: reports from elementary school teachers (2017, background): “…social, motivational and cognitive outcomes (Hattie 2008; Johnson and Johnson 2009; Kyndt et al. 2013; Rohrbeck et al. 2003; Slavin 2014), its implementation remains a challenge (Sharan 2010) that requires strong involvement and many changes in terms of instructional strategies (Gillies 2008).”
Cooperative Learning: Review of Research and Practice. (2016, background): “However, students can be taught to talk and reason and problem-solve together which, in turn, has been shown to contribute to the development of individual reasoning, problem-solving and learning (Gillies, 2004, 2006, 2008; Mercer et al., 2004).”
