Chapter: Teachers Cooperatively Reflecting on their Students' Use of Cooperative Learning

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.43497

Blurb:

This chapter focuses on how language teachers can reflect together to learn more about how to facilitate their students’ use of cooperative learning and other student centered learning methods. The chapter begins with thoughts on the nature of knowledge. Next, we propose benefits of teacher-teacher cooperation before delving into Farrell’s definition of reflective practice. The bulk of the chapter attempts to answer the question of how cooperative learning principles, explained in Chapter 2, can apply to groups of language teachers working together to strengthen the role of their schools in making for more cooperative classrooms and a more cooperative world.
