چکیده
Two hundred thirty-six students in 12th-grade physics classes took part in a quasiexperimental study comparing homogeneous and heterogeneous grouping in a jigsaw classroom.

Self-reported quality of communication was identified as a partial mediator between the composition of the expert group and academic performance.
