English term or phrase: Grouping
"Students in the mild range will show some early concrete operational skills, but won’t understand the same concept at a slightly higher level. Groupings are still pretty much at the subgroup categories, but there may be the occasional supergroup. However, the flexibility needed to go between the sets is not firmly established."

分组?分类?

Also I need to find Chinese equivalents for subgroup, supergroup, and set here. Do I have to make an entry for each of them? Thanks, everyone!

I don't think it is a mathematic term in this context.

Explanation:
Grouping is another basic operation, like adding, substracting, multiplying, dividing, students in US start to learn in elementary schools. It is grouping of certain items according to the similar factors shared by the grouped elements. "Subgroup" is 子群 but I'm not so sure wheter "supergroup" is translated as 超级群.

In the most basic level, grouping is a cogtnitive operation to perceive common elements in a group of varieties. From what I understand from the original text pasted here, I think the writer is talking about "grouping" as a cognitive operation instead of an activity to group the students. I hope I'm right in this respect.

If I am right from my reading of Dr. Wagnar's essay, he's using groups and supergroups in sociological context talking about social representation.
