Abstract

Without disproving the importance of traditional teacher-led discussions in class, an increasing number of teachers are acknowledging the worth of allocating group work to their students. It is a false notion that cooperative learning is a replacement for the methods we use at present for teaching-learning rather it can be used to augment or enhance learning. This paper discusses the key elements of cooperative learning: positive interdependence, individual accountability, promotive or face to face interaction, interpersonal and small group skills and group processing. The research validating effectiveness of this method is summarized. The paper outlines the methods for implementing cooperative learning in higher education for successful learning to take place. The common hurdles in the implementation of cooperative learning and how to overcome them are discussed in the present study. The present study may lead to the enhancement of practices and approaches. Key Words: Cooperative learning, pedagogy, higher education Policy
