Each group determines a way of presenting or displaying what it has learned to the rest of the class. Evaluation includes self and group assessment. Students and teachers determine the subtopics to be investigated in the unit of study. Students are divided into small heterogeneous groups. Each member of the group is assigned a subtopic and has as a responsibility to contribute to a group project on the topic.
Students research their subtopics individually.
The group synthesizes the material each member has collected for a group display or report. Assessment Evaluation should focus on academic achievement and the acquisition of co-operative group behaviours. A checklist or anecdotal comments can be used to record the teacher's observations of co-operative behaviours and group progress. Presentations by groups should be evaluated by the teacher and by class members. Teachers and students should collaboratively determine the evaluation criteria.
