This book
presents an overview of cooperative learning, details the uses for
cooperative learning, integrates cooperative learning with competitive
and individualistic learning, and suggests techniques for managing
cooperative learning. Chapters in the text provide: (1) a history
of cooperative learning and research on which the practice is based;
(2) basic elements that make cooperative learning work; (3) a description
of the essential components of a well-structured cooperative lesson;
(4) various approaches to cooperative learning, detailing the strengths
and weaknesses of each; (5) in-depth coverage of the social skills
necessary to work effectively within cooperative learning groups,
including assessment, evaluation, group processing, and the constructive
resolution of conflict; (6) different ways in which cooperative
learning may be implemented within a school, from single lessons
to specific curriculum packages to specific strategies to a generic
approach to learning; and (7) strategies and procedures teachers
need to educate at-risk students, create a multicultural classroom,
intellectually challenge gifted students, and show how the use of
cooperative groups may be extended to all aspects of the school.
