Abstract
The study investigates the impact of in-class cooperative group work on high school students’ mathematics performance, motivation and en gagement. The research was conducted with 11th-grade students learning logarithms for the first time. The APOS Theory was applied to assess stu dents’ cognitive development with an emphasis on students’ progress before and after the cooperative group work. Our findings indicate that the cooper ative learning activity influenced positively the learning outcome. The post tests and the students’ activities in the lessons indicate that students’ motiva tion and engagement increased after group work and the pupils advanced to higher levels of the APOS Theory. Group level improvement was validated using Fischer’s exact test, whereas individual differences were investigated through Paired Samples t-test.
