Abstract | The verbal interaction of science inquiries in homogeneous and heterogeneous small groups was investigated in this study involving 106 students of chemistry from two schools in a large urban district. Films depicting chemical phenomena were presented. Students were then divided into small groups and asked to generate test hypotheses to explain the phenomena. Each student was placed in a homogeneous or a heterogeneous group according to his divergent thinking potential as measured by the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking in an attempt to see if such grouping would effect the amount and kind of verbal interaction. Student statements expressed during the inquiry were classified based on the "operations" parameters of Guilford's structure of the intellectual model using the Aschner-Gallagher instrument. Among the results were: (1) the verbal interactions of the individuals in the homogeneous and heterogeneous groups with high, medium, and low divergent thinking potentials were different from one another; and (2) the interactions of individuals in the heterogeneous group are different from those in the homogeneous group.
