Özet
In this study, the effects of employing student group leaders during co-operative learning activities in a secondary biology classroom in Turkey is examined. The study was carried out in a period of eight weeks in biology classes during which “ecology” unit was taught to the class of 36 students by using Jigsaw and STAD. The students were divided into groups of four and a student in each group was assigned as the group leader. The data was collected through interviews with group leaders and group members and through video recordings of one group continuously for eight weeks. The study revealed that student group leaders’ approaches towards the organisation of the group activities were either relationship or task related. The study is a pre-investigation of a more comprehensive study titled “Prevailing cooperative learning methods through group leaders and finding solution to problems occurred during the process”, lasted for 3 years and funded by Turkish Scientific & Technological Research Institution (TUBITAK) with the participation of 466 students in ten classrooms in five secondary schools across the city of Diyarbakir.
