Abstract

This investigation aimed to analyze the influence of intellectual
inequality on collaborative interaction in eight years old children dyads.
The design consisted in a case study because the sample was formed
by eight dyads (16 subjects). Collaborative interaction was examined as
verbal dimension (message type) and social modality of task execution. Data was processed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results
showed that intellectual homogeneity or intellectual heterogeneity
between subjects influences mainly on verbal participation related to
logical resolution of tasks. This relation was observed to a lesser extent
compared to other message type and social modality execution of task.
