Samenvatting:

Using case studies derived from the ORACLE II project, the authors examine the importance of collaboration in the development of higher mental functions and also the social and emotional advantages that can be derived from group work.



Drawing on the work of Vygotsky, the authors look at the social and emotional advantages children can gain from working together. They use case studies derived from the ORACLE II group work project at Leicester, and also take into account the advances made in collaborative group work in other countries. The result is a set of guidelines from which teachers can plan policies suitable for their own schools.
