What is the Cooperative Learning model's history and origins?

What will be an ideal response?


Collaborative learning activities stretch back to John Dewey's involvement in the progressive movement, though a formal introduction of Cooperative Learning models in preK-12 classrooms began in the 1960s, due to a growing awareness of the power of group dynamics, the goal of building positive relationships among diverse student populations, and the impact of relationships on learning and development. Over the last 50 years, these models have become some of the most popular with teachers in the U.S., and continue to play a vital role in student learning in the 21st century.
