Summary
Cooperative learning is one of the greatest success teaching methodology in the history of educational research.And it is the most creative and effective education system since it was designed and studied for cooperative learning classroom contexts in 1970s (Slavin, R.E.,1996). It has been extensively applied in cooperative learning teaching.
