1) Surveys were sent to 200 participants to teachers in Urban Areas of the U.S.A., however only 118 were returned. So the final sample was 118 urban school teachers, special ed and general ed.
2)This section begins by explaining why they are even doing this study, and explain what they are trying to find out. I think that it is very helpful because you know right away what the basis of their research is.
3) The findings are discussed by each section to which there were four sections total of the surveys.
4) A main theme that occurred is that more general education teachers believed that there was cooperative learning taking place in their schools, however more Special Education teachers said that they actually integrated cooperative learning themselves. Another section found that more General Education teachers use cooperative learning less in more areas, but special education teachers use cooperative learning in more in less areas of study.
5) To support these claims they used statistical data from their research.
6) What stood out to me is how factual it was, but still really easy to understand. I thought it was written very well and encompasses very great research.
