Conference Workshop Abstracts


Developing Skills for Co-operative Learning in Latvian Teacher Education


Facilitator: Indra Odina, Latvian Association of University Lecturers for Co-operation in Teacher Education, Riga, Latvia


Summary:
This presentation examines five years of implementing co-operative learning in teacher in-service education in Latvia. The action research was carried out to develop teachers’ social skills through co-operative, collaborative, and transformative learning. The results obtained reveal that the implementation of new contents takes a long time, but the implementation of new attitudes is a never-ending journey.


Effect of Co-operative, Individualistic and Competitive Instruction on Achievement and Class Climate


Facilitator: Ghazi Ghaith, Department of Education, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon


Summary:
A report describing the results of an investigation into the relative efficacy of co-operative, individualistic, and competitive forms of instruction in promoting achievement in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and learners’ perceptions of class climate such as fairness of grading, class cohesion, school alienation, and social support.


Distributed Cognition and Co-operative Learning


Facilitators: Eunju Yun, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA and Yonggi Jo, Taegu National University of EducationTaegu, South Korea


Summary:
This paper explores a rationale for co-operative learning that is in contrast to the current dominant rationale - the resemblance to real-life situations outside of schools rather than its intra-school effects. The concept of ‘distributed cognition’ is referenced as a major theoretical framework.


One and All in CALL: Learner-Moderator-Researcher

Facilitator: Claudia Finkbeiner, Teaching English as a Foreign Language Department, Kassel University, Kassel, Germany

A Co-operative Approach to Service (Community) Learning Skills

Facilitator: Daniel MacInnes, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, St Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada

In the socio-cultural context of learning English as a second/foreign language in Hong Kong, what does co-operative learning have to offer students? The results of a three-year study in three primary schools with implications regarding the cultural appropriateness of co-operative learning and how task design can impede or facilitate language learning.
