    Mixed ability grouping involves placing students of varying abilities and ages into the same group. This exposes students to intellectual and social interactions with peers of different skills and behaviors, which has educational benefits. Students in mixed ability groups can help each other, learn from one another, develop social skills like cooperation, and improve cognitive abilities through teaching younger peers. Both higher- and lower-ability students benefit from being stimulated and supported by their mixed-ability peers.

    MIXED ABILITY

    GROUPING
    C.R.Shalini
    Department of physical science
     Mixed Ability grouping refers to grouping together students of different abilities
     Usually this kind grouping occurs in our class room
     Group consists of students with different ages with one or two years span.
     In mixed Ability groups,there are some students that are more mature and experienced than
    other students and thus they have more advanced ability to acquired knowledge.
     In other words the purpose of mixed ability grouping is for children to benefit by their intellectual and
    social interaction with other students of their group that have different social behaviour and ability to
    learn
     Age may not be an exclusive criterion for indicating different levels of students
     Some of these factors include,
     Age of maturity
     Intelligence
     Learning style
     Language aptitude
     Language levels
     Mother tongue
     Learner autonomy
     Attitude towards the subject
     Cultural background
     When you set up mixed ability group.putting together students with one or two grades
    differences,you can make a mixed ability group.
     It is believed that the interaction and cooperation of students with different intellectual level
    and social behaviour and skills have worth mentioning educational benefit.
     Teacher has to give clear guidance and expectations about how they should work together.
     Research is much more favorable for mixed ability grouping then ability grouping.
    The order more intellectually and socially matured children benefit:
     By helping their group mates since they are becoming their mentors,they are developing
    healthy leadership skills and enhancing their self esteem.
     By improving cognitive skills since they have the change to consolidate knowledge by sharing
    it or instructing their younger group mates.
     The younger,less intellectually and socially matured children benefit
     By being exposed on cooperation activities with more matured students in a spirit of
    collaboration and team working.
     By being stimulated by students with stronger personalities better abilities with wider range of
    interests.
     By belonging to a team where they feel security,trust and well guides by their group mates.
