In the video,the teacher puts students together,ostensibly to work together to study Romeo and Juliet,but whose real purpose was to see what students get out of cooperative learning.Regardless of what aspect of Romeo and Juliet they were studying,students had several things to say about working together,compared to working at home.From their comments,was it better working in a group? What did students mention about the experience? Would you say that students experienced any "social facilitation" in the group? Was there any conflict,and,if not,why not?
