The research used a multi-site case study design in six schools and involved eight groups of six mixed-sex, mixed-ability pupils (aged 9-12) undertaking three research tasks – two using Logo and one a database. Our findings suggest that, contrary to other recent research, the pupil characteristics of gender and ability have no direct influence on progress in group tasks with computers. However, status effects – pupils' perceptions of gender and ability – do have an effect on the functioning of the group, which in turn can impede progress for all pupils concerned. date: 1993 date_type: published oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green full_text_status: public publication: Social Development volume: 2 number: 3 pagerange: 222-241 pages: 20 refereed: TRUE issn: 0961-205X citation: Pozzi, Stefano; Healy, Lulu; Hoyles, Celia; (1993) Learning and interaction in groups with computers: when do ability and gender matter?
