Study On Cooperative Learning Based On Dalton’s System

Study on Cooperative Learning Based on Dalton’s SystemCooperative learning is an ancient and modern learning theory and methods. It isancient for being a long history: the classical Chinese educational classic workLearning revealed the incomparable superiority of cooperative learning by deliveringthat “studying alone without friends will make someone very limited in knowledgeand information” more than two thousand years ago; it is modern because thecooperation study was founded in the early20th century and launched at the end ofthe1960’s, and it did not achieve a huge breakthrough until the20th century.Cooperative learning is considered to be “one of the most fruitful and influentialteaching theory and practice” because it has achieved significant results in betteringclassroom atmosphere, improving student ability, improving the psychological qualityof students and other aspects.This research focuses on cooperative learning between teachers and students, andit expands traditional teaching form into an interactive form between teachers andstudents, on which base, this thesis teases out and integrates the theoretical andempirical research on successful experience domestically and internationally andenriches cooperative learning theory system and localization experiment system,aiming to guide the cooperative learning practices. This thesis uses qualitativeresearch methods to investigate the theory and practice of cooperative learning andfurther interprets some relevant theories to explain cooperative learning concepts, andthen it discusses the theoretical basis of cooperative learning and the basic thought ofcooperative learning to explore the implemental principles, elements and strategies ofcooperative learning in order to make a scientific and reasonable conclusion.This thesis is divided into the following main parts:The first part is introduction. The main origin, background and research meaningof cooperative learning are discussed; the backbone of this research is the study ofcooperative learning based on the theory of Dalton plan and these following researchmethods are employed in the full thesis:①the methods of documentation;②the scene investigation;③interview;④questionnaire. Clarifying academic research results bothat the domestic and foreign countries is to understand the angle of the previousresearches and the latest research dynamics.The second part is the interpretation of relevant concepts of cooperative learningbetween teachers and students in the perspective of the Dalton plan. This part is thetheoretical foundation of this thesis. The theoretical basis of cooperative learningoriginates from group dynamic theory, social interactive theory and constructivismtheory; cooperative learning follows three basic principles and six implementalelements.The third part is about educational experiment of teachers and students oncooperative learning. The experiment of the third middle school of Antu County,Yanbian State is employed to reveal educational practice and creativity in the aspectof cooperative learning.The fourth part is cooperative learning strategy between teachers and students.There are plenty of problems in part three and these problems will be solved in thispart, and many effective implemental strategies towards those problems will be putforward.The fifth part is conclusion. The ideological conflicts between teachers andstudents in cooperative learning groups will inspire these members to present theirideas and eventually to achieve a construction theory towards cooperative learning.Based on the teaching experiment of the third middle school of Antu County ofYanbian State, this thesis investigates closely on cooperative learning and makes adetailed analysis of present situation,difficult circumstances and trend of developmentof cooperative learning and finally puts forward a reasonable strategies; research oncooperative learning based on the theory of Dalton is a promote for the integration ofcooperative learning and therefore provide an valuable reference for both futuretheoretical research and later teaching practice.
