Strengthening Argument about Group Study Impact

Medium Critical Reasoning Strengthening Arguments

In a recent study, researchers found that students who studied in groups scored higher on mathematics exams compared to those who studied alone. Based on this finding, the researchers concluded that studying in groups improves students' mathematics performance.

However, this conclusion may be flawed due to a lack of sufficient evidence considering other influencing factors such as the quality of study materials used, the prior knowledge of the students, and the dynamics of group interactions. To strengthen their argument, the researchers should consider evidence that...

shows that group study sessions were structured in a way that encouraged collaboration and discussion among students.

indicates that students studying alone had access to the same quality of study materials as those studying in groups.

reveals there was no difference in prior mathematics knowledge between the two groups of students.

demonstrates that students' individual performance improved over time regardless of their study method.
