The traits of constructivism extend well beyond merely working in groups. The researcher approached the constructivist-based group in a manner that she felt supported the underlying tenets of the philosophy. This included not only the types of assessment problems that were selected but also how she interacted with the groups. For instance, each group problem was posted without a set of instructions for solving it. The researcher wanted the group members to come together and discuss possible strategies for solving the problems, similar to the methods found in the work of Chinnappan (2006), Evans et al. (2008), and Zhou and Stahl (2007). Once the groups worked through the problem, they posted their work as a presentation for the entire class. The researcher encouraged students to read and comment on the other groups’ postings. In addition, the researcher posed a follow-up question that prompted students to take the concept to a higher level.
