Cooperative Learning

An Invitation to Academic
and Social Success

  

with ROGER & DAVID JOHNSON, University of Minnesota

Since the 1960’s Roger and David Johnson have researched the effects of competitive, individual and
cooperative goal structures on students’ learning, and discovered that the way learning goals are structured
determines how students interact. The resulting interaction patterns are important in determining not only
the affective outcomes of instruction but also academic achievement.

During the 1970's, they developed concrete, practical teaching strategies based on their research findings.
They taught their first class on goal structures in 1974, and since then their course has been taught to
teachers and other interested professionals throughout North America. Cooperative learning strategies
can be employed at every level and subject area and at any ability level. The Johnsons’ methods have also
been used extensively to facilitate mainstreaming of special needs students.
