Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a diverse range of international scholars to highlight recent developments in research on collaborative learning. The emphasis is on research that has a strong evidence base for the work that is presented and includes empirical studies, best evidence synthesis of the relevant research, case studies, and theoretical reports. It also highlights how different technologies have been used to facilitate group interaction, dialogue, and learning. There is much to be gained by sharing and learning about what happens in different disciplines and contexts and how different collaborative pedagogies can be implemented when needed to promote understanding and learning. This book will have strong appeal to pre-service and experienced teachers and researchers who are interested in how different collaborative pedagogies can be embedded in course curricula to promote student engagement and learning.

Book excerpt: "Gilles focuses the majority of the book on the relationship in the classroom between the individual teacher and the students. She gives teachers ammunition to overcome resistance to cooperative learning by presenting well-substantiated research on virtually every page of her book showing the benefits of having students study together." —Ted Wohlfarth, PSYCCRITIQUES "This text′s greatest strengths are bringing together a range of powerful teaching strategies connected to students taking responsibility for their own learning and the learning of others. The focus on both teacher strategies to encourage effective group talk and student strategies to encourage effective discourse is helpful." —Nancy L. Markowitz, San Jose State University Although cooperative learning is widely endorsed as a pedagogical practice that promotes learning and socialization among students, teachers still struggle with how to introduce it into their classrooms. This text highlights the strategies teachers can use to challenge student thinking and scaffold their learning as well as the strategies students can be taught to promote discourse, problem—solving, and learning during cooperative learning. Key Features Presents cooperative learning in conjunction with national standards: The book situates cooperative learning within the context of No Child Left Behind and a climate of high stakes testing. Links theory with practice: Numerous case studies and small group exercises highlight how teachers can assess both the process and outcomes of cooperative learning. Emphasizes the key role teachers play in establishing cooperative learning: Guidelines are given on how teachers can establish cooperative learning in their classrooms to promote student engagement and learning across various levels and for students of diverse abilities. Incorporates the latest research on cooperative learning: An overview is provided of the major research and theoretical perspectives that underpin the development of cooperative learning pedagogy. Intended Audience This is an excellent supplementary text for several undergraduate and graduate level K—12 teacher preparation and certification courses regularly offered in schools of education. It can also be used as one of several texts in courses on cooperative learning and as a supplement in K—12 teaching methods courses.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exceeding number of studies have been found on cooperative learning and its effect on students' social development. Cooperative learning is supported by many teachers and a vast amount of research has identified it as a learning strategy to help students acquire appropriate social skills in addition to experiencing academic success. This research study was conducted in a suburban township in Middlesex County, New Jersey with a population of 46,756 as found by Census Bureau, (2000). Ten special education teachers who teach resource center classes and thirty-seven sixth and seventh grade resource center students from those classes were surveyed on their understanding and utilization of cooperative learning strategies in a resource center class and its perceived effects on students' social development. Teachers were surveyed on their understanding and utilization of cooperative learning strategies as well as their perception of students' social skills and the benefits cooperative learning has on students' social development. Students were surveyed on their understanding of cooperative learning and awareness of cooperative learning strategies being used in their resource classrooms in addition to their view of their social and cooperative abilities. Teachers' level of training in cooperative learning strategies as compared with the limited use of formal cooperative learning models was documented in this study through teacher and student surveys. Recommendations include teachers' utilization of more formal cooperative learning models. In addition, teachers should be trained and monitored in the use of cooperative learning strategies in the classroom. If students are expected to cooperate with others once they exit school and enter the workplace, building the foundation for cooperative learning should begin in the classroom.

This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cooperative learning is widely endorsed as a pedagogical practice that promotes student learning. Recently, the research focus has moved to the role of teachers’ discourse during cooperative learning and its effects on the quality of group discussions and the learning achieved. However, although the benefits of cooperative learning are well documented, implementing this pedagogical practice in classrooms is a challenge that many teachers have difficulties accomplishing. Difficulties may occur because teachers often do not have a clear understanding of the basic tenets of cooperative learning and the research and theoretical perspectives that have informed this practice and how they translate into practical applications that can be used in their classrooms. In effect, what do teachers need to do to affect the benefits widely documented in research? A reluctance to embrace cooperative learning may also be due to the challenge it poses to teachers’ control of the learning process, the demands it places on classroom organisational changes, and the personal commitments teachers need to make to sustain their efforts. Moreover, a lack of understanding of the key role teachers need to play in embedding cooperative learning into the curricula to foster open communication and engagement among teachers and students, promote cooperative investigation and problem-solving, and provide students with emotionally and intellectually stimulating learning environments may be another contributing factor. The Teacher's Role in Implementing Cooperative Learning in the Classroom provides readers with a comprehensive overview of these issues with clear guidelines on how teachers can embed cooperative learning into their classroom curricula to obtain the benefits widely attributed to this pedagogical practice. It does so by using language that is appropriate for both novice and experienced educators. The volume provides: an overview of the major research and theoretical perspectives that underpin the development of cooperative learning pedagogy; outlines how specific small group experiences can promote thinking and learning; discusses the key role teachers play in promoting student discourse; and, demonstrates how interaction style among students and teachers is crucial in facilitating discussion and learning. The collection of chapters includes many practical illustrations, drawn from the contributors’ own research of how teachers can use cooperative learning pedagogy to facilitate thinking and learning among students across different educational settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project is a combination of qualitative case study and quantitative analysis for two 6th grade middle school classes. Its primary focus is to learn more about the sociological effects of cooperative learning in the classroom specifically in terms of students' perceptions of each other, their teachers, and school in general. The findings were different than expected in that the classrooms which utilized cooperative learning daily were more favorable toward the beginning of the year and less so 3 months later. In a more traditional classroom, results were less favorable in the beginning of the year and more favorable after cooperative learning had been introduced and implemented. The results of this study suggest that cooperative learning does, in fact, promote positive social results for students, but either teachers need to balance this strategy with independent work or more group skill trainings need to take place to alleviate some of the negative associations with group work. These skills will not only affect the cooperative learning environment in the classroom, but would carry over to promote a more democratic, inclusive, caring community.

Download or read book PERCEPTIONS ON COOPERATIVE LEARNING: A CASE STUDY OF KAGAN COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRUCTURES IN THE CLASSROOM. written by Tina Hinson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to gain insight to the perceptions of teachers and students on learning and engagement due to the implementation of Kagan cooperative learning structures. The study utilized quantitative and qualitative data to answer the guiding research questions. A mixed methods explanatory research design was implemented, beginning with the collection of quantitative data that was expanded upon by further collection of qualitative data. The sample for this study consisted of 107 students, grades 3-8, and 19 teachers who have been trained by a Kagan cooperative learning professional developer. Surveys created by the researcher were used to gain quantitative data from both the teacher and the student participants. Following the analysis of survey data, eight teachers participated in one-one-one, semi-structured interviews. The final phase of the data collection was the use of two teacher focus groups. The responses from the interviews and focus groups were transcribed, coded, and analyzed in order to assist with answering the research questions. Using the qualitative data gathered from the interviews and surveys to explain and extend the findings created by the analysis of the quantitative data, the research effectively answered the proposed study questions. Overall, both the teachers and the students agreed that the use of the Kagan cooperative learning structures affect student learning and engagement. Students responded to the survey and agreed that they prefer to work with team mates when completing and assigned task. Teachers agreed that students become engaged and motivated when asked to complete assignments in a team setting. Several themes emerged when data from the teacher interviews and focus groups were analyzed. Positive outcomes of the implementation of Kagan cooperative learning structures were voiced from all teacher participants interviewed and those participating in the focus groups. The results of the study provided some insight to issues that are faced by teachers and the daily implementation of Kagan cooperative learning structures in the classroom. For example, new initiatives, at both the district and school level, have been put into place this year and less time is available to plan for the effective implementation of the structures.
