Co‐operative Learning in Management Education

Abstract

Co‐operative Learning is one of the major process aspects of the Diploma in Education Management course at Sheffield City Polytechnic. It is not part of the cognitive content of the course but it is central to the underlying philosophy of the course. Indeed most management courses (and other courses) would I believe benefit from using the concept of co‐operative learning more explicitly. Our experiences in this area may be useful to others who have not considered it in quite the same way. Before describing how the process developed — a word of warning. Our experience is not a blueprint for others. Co‐operative learning is a dynamic idea. Each learning group is different from every other learning group. The direction which co‐operative learning takes, will and should vary from group to group. However our experience considered within these constraints may help others to foster co‐operative learning more effectively.
