Abstract:

Whether it is in preschool, elementary or secondary school, or college learning situations, there are three important types of interaction: the interaction between the teacher and the students, the interaction between the students and the curriculum materials, and the interaction among students. Both the teacher's role and the curriculum have received a great deal of attention in instructional theory, but the student-student interaction patterns have largely been ignored and often mismanaged by educators.
