 Students demonstrate academic achievement
 Cooperative learning methods are usually equally effective for all ability levels
 Cooperative learning is effective for all ethnic groups
 Student perceptions of one another is enhanced when given the opportunity
to work with one another

29. Cooperation vs. Competition vs. Individualistic
