Considering the research which supports cooperative learning as an effective instructional method, one might be curious as to the reasons why some educators are not knowledgeable of cooperative learning techniques.
Unfortunately, however, during this study, direct observation revealed that effective implementation of cooperative learning techniques has been hindered in instances where teachers lacked sufficient knowledge about the benefits and mechanics of using cooperative grouping strategies to facilitate high levels of achievement.
This guide, however, is intended to serve as a cooperative learning strategy blue print or resource for teachers who desire to help young learners comprehend, grasp complex concepts, effectively communicate, collaborate, and ultimately experience high levels of academic success.
