Abstract
Ninety pupils in four unstreamed classes in a boys’ Grammar School worked in pairs through a chemistry programmed text: in two classes mixed‐ability pairs were formed by the teacher; in the two other classes pupils worked with partners they chose themselves. No significant differences were found between test and retest results from the mixed‐ability and the own‐choice pairs, but the own‐choice pairs expressed a more favourable attitude toward the program.Keywords
