Student perceptions of social support were moderately linked to positive interdependence in cooperative geometry classes. However, self-esteem was a stronger predictor of student learning than social interdependence factors.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Learning Sciences

Background:

  • Social interdependence theory posits that how students interact influences learning outcomes.
  • Previous research highlights the importance of classroom climate and social support.
  • Understanding these factors is crucial for optimizing cooperative learning environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between student perceptions of social interdependence and social support.
  • To examine the links between classroom climate, causal attributions, and academic achievement.
  • To meta-analyze four classroom climate studies to determine overall effect sizes and variability.

Main Methods:

  • Attitudinal data collected using the Classroom Life Instrument from 123 eighth-grade students in Canada.

  • Students were learning geometry in cooperative groups.
  • Meta-analysis statistical methods were employed to synthesize findings across studies.

    • Main Results:

    • Social support from teachers and peers showed a moderate relationship with perceived positive interdependence.
    • Student self-esteem emerged as a more significant predictor of learning than social interdependence.
    • Meta-analysis confirmed moderate relationships and assessed study-to-study variability.

    Conclusions:

    • While social support is related to interdependence, self-esteem plays a more critical role in student achievement.
    • Cooperative learning environments benefit from considering both social dynamics and individual student factors.
    • Further research can refine the understanding of these complex relationships in educational settings.
