I don't understand your question. Are you talking about working in groups? If so, I tend to agree with you. Too often when group projects are assigned, the instructors deliberately put "work horses" in groups with "slugs." The work horses do all the work and the slugs get to share in the glory (and the grade). However, I also think that two (or maybe three) heads are better than one. I always made a point to buddy-up with at least one reasonably intelligent student in every class--we would share notes when one of us was absent and also talked over assignments or specific questions/problems we found difficult. Often talking about the problems ended up helping us understand. I think your "six thinking hats" is at least three too many--remember the old adage that "too many cooks spoil the broth." I think that one fits in your case. The only way I can see six being of use would be in busy-work answers--ones that are clearly covered in the text, but take time to find and write out. In a larger group, the questions could be split up and each person could research to find the answer and then share the page references with the group.
