Outcomes Evaluation <Academic Achievement>Appointed groups with a mixture of homogeneity and heterogeneity perform better (earn higher group grades) when compared with self-selected groups...Method 2 of group assignments, heterogeneous with respect to GPA and homogeneous with respect to interest, appears to be the most effective method of group assignment when considering (1) group performance (group grades); (2) attitudes about the course and its administration, and (3) efficiency in the use of time for this particular course.</Academic Achievement> |
