| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to examine how students manage their roles when they work in groups on a task designed for cooperative (roles assigned) or collaborative (no roles assigned) learning. Apart from these two manners of learning, group work, per se, is also studied in order to observe what it has to offer. A theoretical framework is also needed to contextualise and address these matters. In the theoretical section, the difference between cooperative and collaborative group work and what group work consists of is discussed. For the empirical part of the dissertation, qualitative data has been extracted from field notes and from two recordings of different 1st grade of ESO groups to analyse their roles and management of a task which is used as language support in the teaching unit of the practicum. An action research perspective is adopted to improve teaching methods by observing how the task is carried out by these two different groups. |
