Insight Into

This longitudinal case study presents a sequence of episodes that document the mathematical thinking of one child, Stephanie, over a 5-year period. Her development of the idea of mathematical justification spans grades 1–5. Stephanie worked on several combinatorics tasks in small-group, whole-class, and individual interview settings. The documented events indicate Stephanie's progress in classifying, organizing, and reorganizing data. The study provides some significant insight into the process by which Stephanie learned to make proofs, within a setting that encouraged the development of her ideas.

Do So

There are many reasons for students to work in small groups in any class, but when the focus is on teaching them a language, the need to do so, multiplies. During my time as a teacher and teacher trainer, I have heard many reasons why teachers do not want to use group work, and it seems to boil down to a feeling of being unable to control the class. Fortunately, my first few years of teaching were in a program where small-group and whole class interactions were expected. Small classes gave students many opportunities to practice the target language and receive feedback from their peers and instructors.

This article presents the results of a national postal survey to determine the type and amount of educational input on HIV/AIDS received by British occupational therapy students. All respondents (18/25 courses, 72%) indicated that they currently provided such input, with an average of 11.9 hours of course time being devoted to it. The majority of presenters were occupational therapists, although colleagues from many other backgrounds were also involved. Much of the material was considered in small group settings, with the content being balanced among a range of aspects. The article concludes that most British occupational therapy students are ‘positively prepared’ to work with clients with HIV/AIDS.

Factors Influencing

This article reported a case study investigating small group interaction patterns in online collaborative writing tasks and factors influencing team collaborations. Participants included six Asian EFL university students who formed two small groups and were engaged in two online collaborative writing tasks via Google Docs. Data collection included the participants’ use of writing change functions and language functions during the collaborative writing processes revealed through Google Docs archives and collaborative essays. Semi-structured interviews were employed to examine factors influencing small group collaborations. The findings revealed that the two teams exhibited divergent interaction patterns, but the patterns of interaction remained consistent within each group across both tasks. The qualitative content analysis showed factors that affected team collaborations were individual goals, learners’ English proficiency, individual roles, and the use of collaborative agency. The findings may help elucidate the divergence of online collaborative writing and provide insightful information for instructors to design collaborative writing activities and assist EFL learners in the co-construction of writing tasks.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan: (1) bagaimana penggunaan Small Group Discussion dapat meningkatkan kemampuan ketrampilan membaca siswa dalam materi descriptive text. (2) Kelebihan menggunakan Small Group Discussion dalam pembelajaran penguasaan ketrampilan membaca. Dalam penelitian tindakan kelas ini dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus pada siswa kelas X MIPA-7 SMA Negeri 11 Semarang. Setiap siklus terdiri dari empat tahapan: perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengamatan, refleksi. Terdapat dua jenis data: data kualitatif dan data kuantitatif. Data kualitatif diperoleh dengan menggunakan lembar pengamatan, wawancara, dan catatan lapangan. Kemudian, data kuantitatif diperoleh menggunakan tes (pre-test dan post-test). Data kualitatif dianalisis menggunakan 5 tahapan yang disarankan oleh Burns (1999: 157-159) yakni sebagai berikut: menghimpun data, mencatat data, membandingkan data, membangun teori, dan melaporkan hasil penelitian. Data kuantitatif dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Small Group Discussion dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam ketrampilan membaca. Selain itu, Small Group Discussion dapat digunakan untuk mendukung guru dalam pengelolaan kelas. Peneliti juga menemukan kelebihan Small Group Discussion dalam pembelajaran ketrampilan membaca. Small Group Discussion tidak hanya membuat suasana kelas menjadi nyaman dan menarik, akan tetapi juga meningkatkan partisipasi siswa dalam berbagi ide dan bertukar informasi dalam pembelajaran ketrampilan membaca descriptive text.

The Impact

Measures of intelligence, when broadcast, serve as salient signals of social status, which may be used to unjustly reinforce low-status stereotypes about out-groups' cultural norms. Herein, we investigate neurobehavioural signals manifest in small ( n = 5) groups using functional magnetic resonance imaging and a ‘ranked group IQ task’ where implicit signals of social status are broadcast and differentiate individuals based on their expression of cognitive capacity. We report an initial overall decrease in the expression of cognitive capacity in the small group setting. However, the environment of the ‘ranked group IQ task’ eventually stratifies the population into two groups (‘high performers’, HP and ‘low performers’, LP) identifiable based on changes in estimated intelligence quotient and brain responses in the amygdala and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. In addition, we demonstrate signals in the nucleus accumbens consistent with prediction errors in expected changes in status regardless of group membership. Our results suggest that individuals express diminished cognitive capacity in small groups, an effect that is exacerbated by perceived lower status within the group and correlated with specific neurobehavioural responses. The impact these reactions have on intergroup divisions and conflict resolution requires further investigation, but suggests that low-status groups may develop diminished capacity to mitigate conflict using non-violent means.
