Abstract

A definition of cooperative learning and a brief overview of types of cooperative learning groups-informal, formal, and base, are presented. Essential elements of a well-structured formal cooperative learning group are considered along with the professor's role in structuring a problem-based cooperative learning group. A summary of research support for cooperative learning is also presented.
