The aim of this study is, to determine how group studies carried out in the public and private elementary schools in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, effective are. The data of the study was collected through the questionnaires given to the students and teachers. The findings which have been acquired from the research show that most of the teachers benefit from group studies techniques effectively, and students are satisfied with the group studies but every student cannot attend the group studies and learn, so some of the students prefer individual studies. It is suggested that rules should be predetermined, preliminary study should be made by teachers, responsibilities should be given to students equally and students never should be enforced to participate in group studies in the application of group studies techniques. Moreover, it is offered that seating arrangement should be laid out for group studies and students' opinions should be taken into consideration. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
