Abstract
In this study. the effects of grouping by students' agreeableness in cooperative learning strategy applied to middle school science classes on their achievement. confidence, satisfaction, attitude toward science class, and cohesion of group members were investigated. One hundred and fifty-eight students were assigned to control group, homogeneous group and heterogeneous group, and taught about separation of mixture for 7 class hours. The results revealed that there was no significant difference in the achievement test scores. However, significant interaction between the instruction and the level of agreeableness were found in the satisfaction and the cohesion of group members. Students of higher agreeableness level in the homogeneous group were more satisfied with science class and cohesive. Students' attitude toward science class in the homogeneous group was also significantly higher than those in the other groups.
