Abstract:

Complex instruction is an equity-driven educational practice which addresses the inherent sociological problems in doing small group work. According to expectation states theory, differences in social status between students cause differing levels of participation which diminishes access for low-status students. Complex instruction provides a number of solutions to equalize status and improve access through the use of true group tasks and multidimensionality.
