task–technology fit theory (TTF) (Zigurs and Buckland 1998), the use of computer-based group communication support tools, including “chat” systems in wide-spread use today, may be less effective for convergent processes than for divergent processes. This study experimentally compares the performance of computer-mediated and face-to-face (FTF) teams on tasks requiring both divergent and convergent processes. Consistent with theoretical predictions, the results revealed that computer-mediated teams outperformed

Teacher-centered methods work best in the primary grades and with students faced with low SES. Student-Centered

the story included then first the behaviorist theory is applied on how it can help Nathan using positive and negative reinforcement.
