One physical science teacher who has six years''''experience in teaching and one of his eighth-grade class took part in this study. In order to understand the aspects and affecting factors of students''''"participating in group discussion" and "helping mutually among the group members",one of seven groups in this class had been investigated intensively. The results of this study indicated that the major obstacles of the teacher were in preparing the teaching instrument, and designing teaching activities. To prepare teaching instrument effectively, the most efficient way was to ask for students'''' help.
