Building a learning community in the primary classroom

The introduction of co-operative learning creates the environment for the development of a learning community in the classroom. This approach demands a reappraisal of the way teaching and learning is organised and a shift in the relations between teachers and pupils. Co-operative learning is a well researched instructional strategy with a long history in the USA, Canada and Europe. Major benefits have been identified in relation to higher achievement and greater productivity, more positive relationships and greater psychological health, social competence and self- esteem.
