In an observational study, 50 classroom group discussions were video-recorded to study cooperative learning behaviors in primary school children. Two educational researchers used content analysis to analyze the video footage. They found that 65% of the cooperative tasks involved active peer-scaffolding. The most common supportive behaviors were clarifying instructions and encouraging peers. Other behaviors included dividing tasks, sharing materials, and resolving conflicts.
Explain how the two educational researchers might have assessed the reliability of their content analysis.
