THE ROLE OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
THE ROLE OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: This paper follows the role of cooperative learning in the approach of a very important subject for pre-university learning: education for protection of the environment. The original contributions have been pointed out by the realization of certain projects through extra-curricular activities, applied in two schools belonging to the Apuseni National Park (the school from Rachitele and the second from Garda). Cooperative learning has proved to be a structured and systemized teaching strategy in which small groups work together to achieve a certain common goal. The base of cooperative learning is that subjects who work as a team are capable to apply and synthesize knowledge in various and complex ways, learning at the same time better than through individual work. In this way, a major goal of our days is being achieved: the student becomes its own “perfecting agent”.
