Abstract

Since the 1960s, the cooperative learning theory has been developed rapidly. Cooperative learning is a reform of the traditional teaching mode. It differs from the traditional mode in knowledge construction, essence of study and learning process, etc. It includes five essential elements, namely, group goals, individual accountability, face-to-face (promotive) interaction, social skills, and group processing. This paper introduces the theory and practice of cooperative learning abroad, and analyzes the essential elements and positive effects of cooperative learning, which shows that cooperative learning has positive effects in improving learning efficiency and interpersonal relationships, as well as developing social skills, hoping to provide some references for the reform of teaching mode in China.
