Chapter 5
"Teachers who want to make sure that everyone in a diverse group really understands the material should set up purposeful group activities that depend on every student's doing things that foster learning." (91)
As I've mentioned before in my blog, I think that the best way for students to truly learn and understand the material is to learn by doing. This also applies to groups. Groupwork is ineffective if only a few members of the group are doing something while the others are not participating or haven't been given an opportunity to participate. Application, one of the levels in Bloom's taxonomy fits in nicely with this concept. To demonstrate that a student has truly mastered information, they will need to apply, or do, something relating to the information.

groupwork when well done is rich; doing groupwork well is the challenge.
