Changes in grouping practices over primary and secondary school

Collaborative learning in pre‐service teacher education: an exploratory study on related conceptions, self‐efficacy and implementation

“…Baines, Blatchford, and Kutnick (2003) argue that teachers are often reluctant to implement CL, possibly due to a lack of competence and understanding (Gillies 2006;Slavin 1999;Veenman, Kenter, and Post 2000). Since we believe that pre-service teacher education has a challenging role in making new generations of teachers familiar with CL, the present study explores both teachers' personal background characteristics (e.g.…”

School lunch and learning behaviour in primary schools: an intervention study

“…Pupil-pupil interaction is the least easily controlled by an adult (Baines et al, 2003, Bennett et al, 1984, Galton et al, 1999, Galton et al, 1980 (teacher-pupil is the most controlled). If a reduction in levels of ontask behaviour was to be expected, it is in this context where it would most likely be observed.…”

“…Lower levels of on-task behaviour in the pupil-pupil social-mode may be attributable to greater levels of alertness post-intervention with a greater need to interact. Teachers may not have catered sufficiently to these changes (Baines et al, 2003, Hastings & Schweiso, 1995.…”

“…This emphasizes the usefulness of explanation and concept-mapping techniques as evaluative measures of student knowledge (Coleman, 1998;Duschl & Osborne, 2002). Some studies have revealed that students can work more collaboratively in science than in mathematics and humanities (Baines, Blatchford, & Kutnick, 2003;Kutnick & Blatchford, 2013;Webb & Palincsar, 1996;Luckin et al, 2017). Hence, this paper only discusses student CPS skill proficiency and behavioral patterns in the context of science.…”
