Collaboration with a more capable peer does not guarantee that the joint meaning will be at a higher level, and the higher level peer could actually regress.
Misinformation from a peer can be disorienting.
Simply pairing students with more capable peers is not enough to ensure that increased learning is ocurring
Regression can be a moment of reorganization of thoughts a moment just before a revolutionary point of understanding.
Teachers can provide sufficient feed back to avoid more than temporary regression and aide understanding.
