Qualitative teacher observation reported after teaching both groups during the 4-week geometry experiment. The teacher noted attentive listening, peer feedback improving decisions, increased effort and enthusiasm, positive motivation effects, and that weak and shy students became more active and confident.

"In spite of their modest participation, weak and shy students became more active and confident. Thus, cooperative learning is proved to suit not only the high-ability students but also the low-ability ones"
