Observing collaborative problem‐solving processes and outcomes

Abstract

Abstract This study examined the problem of assessing group process in a collaborative problem‐solving situation. Students in seven collaborative groups worked on a two‐part math and logic problem—first individually, then in groups, and finally, individually again. Groups engaging in behaviors that facilitated collaboration obtained higher group and individual accuracy scores on a challenging problem set. High‐achieving students were influential in group problem‐solving outcomes. Group scores did not reflect the individual achievement of low‐achieving students. Examining collaborative group process and outcomes offers a new direction in functional and contextualized assessment for school psychologists. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
