How is Cooperative Learning Affected By Cultural Differences In Teaching And Learning?
Cooperative learning (CL) is gaining popularity as the methodology most suited to the increasing diversity of today’s student population, yet many misunderstandings of the principles and practices of CL prevail. This calls for careful consideration of the essential elements of CL and of the ways we present them in different countries and contexts. In this workshop participants will (1) explore the elements they value as essential for qualitative understanding of cooperative learning; (2) design ways of presenting these elements to ensure systematic, effective, and sustainable application of CL in different countries and in intercultural settings.
