• Teacher interventions in small group work in secondary mathematics and science lessons (2016, background): “…to be productive, students should share their ideas and support them with reasons , discuss different views and resolve these to achieve group consensus (Howe 2010; Mercer and Howe 2012; Littleton and Howe 2010; Mercer and Littleton 2007; see also Bennett et al. 2010; Kyriacou and Issitt 2008).”
• Social Regulation of Learning During Collaborative Inquiry Learning in Science: How does it emerge and what are its functions? (2015, result): “These findings are also consistent with those of a systematic review by Bennett et al. (2010) of small-group discussions in secondary science learning in which they found that a key factor that contributed to enhancement of understanding in several studies was dissimilarity or conflict in…”
