ABSTRACT
The current study aims at investigating the impact of homogeneous versus
heterogeneous collaborative learning grouping in multicultural classes on
the students’ achievements and attitudes towards learning science. In the
present study, heterogeneity was unpacked through two dimensions: the
cultural background, represented by the different nationalities present in
the class and the students’ different abilities. The interaction between these
two factors and their combined effect on the achievement and attitudes
were also investigated. The study also considered an approach to provide
quality teaching for a diverse group of students by neutralizing the
heterogeneity factor or reducing its negative effect.
