  Dr. Barron is a developmental psychologist at Stanford University. She mainly studies processes of collaborative learning. She is well-known for her 5-year-study documenting adolescents' learning ecologies. She is also the author of the article "When smart groups fail", which is one of the most cited articles in Journal of the Learning Sciences and one of the ground-breaking studies investigating collaborative interactions. Below, you can find the link for this study. Moreover, she is co-author of some influential books written by some other key learning scientists. You can also check for these publications from her online profiles provided below:

  Professor James W. Pellegrino is a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois. He is, at the same time, co-director of Learning Sciences Research Institute. His main research interests lie within children's and adult's thinking and learning. With the aim of providing a deep understanding of the issues, he concentrates on the nature of learning, analyses of complex learning and environments, powerful technology tools. So far his research expertise has brought influential results including implications for practitioners and policy makers. He is also co-author of the books "Knowing What Students Know: The Science and Design of Educational Assessment" and "How people learn: Bridging research and practice".
