小组合作学习于1970年兴起于美国,1980年起在世界范围取得实质性进展,1990年起在我国部分地区和学校进行了实验研究。小组合作学习是以3～6人组成的小组活动为主体而进行的一种教学活动。它把一个班的学生按照学业成绩、思想品德和心理素质等因素平均分成若干个“组间同质、组内异质”的小组,教学过程的所有环节都以小组活动为核心。采取小组合作学习法能使学生学会怎样与别人合作,同时更有利于培养学生的探索、创新精神。 The cooperative learning of the group started in the United States in 1970 and has made substantial progress worldwide since 1980.
