This practical, 'how-to' book on co-operative learning is designed to serve as a resource for faculty members at colleges and universities. It offers an overview of the co-operative learning process, including its rationale, its research base, its value, and its practical implementation. The authors also describe a variety of approaches to co-operative learning drawn from complementary movements such as classroom research, writing across-the-curriculum, computer technology and critical thinking. They begin with a basic structure for implementing a co-operative learning programme, then move progressively through more complex activities. Numerous examples of actual co-operative learning programmes are included which span a wide variety of disciplines. These examples underscore how a successful programme can bolster student achievement, increase self-esteem, and foster the spirit of teamwork. This book should appeal to those new to the cooperative learning process, as well as to established practitioners in the field.
A practical manual for faculty who use a collaborative approach to education at the post-secondary level.

further. research. This study set out to investigate the cooperative dealings of
prospective foreign language teachers in the virtual space of blended learning. It
was concerned with gaining insights into the manner in which the participants in
a particular teacher education programme managed the virtual cooperation
process in their teams. For this, the concepts of positive interdependence and
accountability, which are central to the theory of Cooperative Learning (CL),
proved valuable.
