The background to my question is here: http://post.ly/Mcwl I'm interested by your comment that 'there is room for more group work'. I agree with this position, but is this because that's what I was taught at University? How beneficial is group work to pupils? (I'm questioning everything now because of my blog post!) Where is the proof? Which research papers do we pay heed to, and which do we discount? And can we trust our own judgments, if they are based on (possibly biased) observations?
