Cooperative learning : a literature guide

Many accounting academics have expressed interest in the possibility of including cooperative learning in their courses. The purpose of this guide is to introduce interested readers to cooperative learning literature. This guide is intended to provide an introduction for accounting educators interested in applying and/or researching cooperative learning techniques. We start this guide by providing a definition of cooperative learning. We then review the underlying theories supporting the use of cooperative learning. An annotated bibliography of some of the major articles dealing with cooperative learning are presented in the final section.
