Cooperative learning, as defined by the authors, involves students working in heterogeneous groups, usually assigned for the duration of the course. Students become responsible for each other's learning since the cooperative spirit permeates every facet of the course: homework, laboratory, assignments, classes, and even some tests.
The book includes directions for organizing students into groups as well as complete descriptions of what these groups do once they are formed. Examples of group problems and group test questions for various mathematics courses ilistrate the work that can be expected of the students in cooperative learning groups, the authors present methods for monitoring groups and dealing with problems that may arise in a cooperative learning environment. They also address the question of student assessment.
In addition to descriptions of their own methods, the authors include a chapter that summarizes forms of cooperative learning used by others. An extensive and annotated bibliography is also included.
This book is a valuable resource for any instructor who uses cooperative learning groups in an undergraduate mathematics class.
