Answer to Question 1

Low-ability and low- to medium-ability students who were assigned to groups that included either medium- to high-ability or high-ability students outscored their peers who were assigned to homogeneous groups on a hands-on problem-solving test of electricity concepts and a paper-and-pencil test of the same concepts.

Answer to Question 2

The positive outcomes associated with cooperative learning are likely due to its motivational effect, the stimulation of cognitive development via peer interaction, and its facilitation of meaningful learning
