Abstract

We investigate the effect of between-group competition on within-group cooperation and on the performance of students in an interactive classroom setting. We demonstrate that in a competition-driven class, the average performance of students after a student interaction opportunity (SIO) is better compared to a no-motivation condition. The standard deviation of second assessment scores of students within a group is also low for competition-driven interaction indicating cooperation during SIO.
