I SEE AND I REMEMBER
I DO AND I UNDERSTAND

“One must learn by doing the thing, for though you think you know it-you have no certainty, until you try.”
Sophocles 5thCentury BCE Greece

Concerns about cooperative/active learning
• Losing control
• Dominance by strong individuals
• Discussion goes off track
• Takes too long to set up
• Lecture gets through material quicker
• Necessary level of planning by teacher, for it to work properly, just too much.
• Large class sizes not conducive.
• Physical environment not suitable.
• Tradition-Parents/Students/Management

Group Work
• Remember students may not know how to behave. They may not be used to facing each other where facial expressions can be even more hurtful than words.
• All ideas must be valued equally.
• One person speaks the rest listen
• Everyone should record though one person might be nominated as reporter.
• Clear objectives need to be established
