Heady uses the Student Assessment of Learning Gains, http://www.wcer.wisc.edu/salgains/instructor , to test numerically student responses to innovations in her biology classroom. Heady invited a sociology professor to her biology class to tell the students how valuable he found working in groups was. This might explain their more positive responses to SALG questions about their group work. Was this socialization just tautological, or did it have an impact outside of this self-congratulatory circle? Heady only posits that it "might indicate that functioning groups helped the students to gain greater understanding..."(p. 60) I'm setting up a SALG-based course survey for my electronics course, which I may study for my EDUC 6470 Final Project.
