    21. Study Groups A research project on teaching at Harvard University led to a report, published in 1990, that states: ‘In every comparison of how much students learn when they work in small groups with how much they learn either in large groups or when they work alone, small groups show the best outcomes. Students who study in small groups do better than students studying alone.’ RECOMMENDATIONS: Students are encouraged to work in groups. Small study groups of 3 to 6 students are optimum.
