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?


Answer:
All students agreed it was more fun. One student said more interesting ideas were generated. It is likely that students experienced some social facilitation in that they wanted to contribute, and other students appeared to stimulate them to do that. In addition, in one group, students were having trouble with the word "imagery," and so bringing together the resources of several students helped them get through that confusion. There appeared to be no conflict, in part because all students seemed focused on the common goal of whatever group they were in.
