The Group Cooperative Learning Teaching Knowledge Research

Since 2001,after the curriculum reform,much attention has been paid to group cooperative learning,which had become a hot topic in the teaching research.It had been rapidly applied in primary and middle school classroom.But after ten years of development,group cooperative learning didn’t meet people’s expectations and had not very significant teaching effects.On the contrary,there are many problems in the process of implementation of cooperative learning,and we can’t get a good solution so that it became an controversial issue.In order to solve the group cooperative learning development dilemma,we inspired by the hot topic about teacher teaching--namely the pedagogical content knowledge.The research attempts to apply the theory of the pedagogical content knowledge into physics group cooperative learning in junior high school,using the theoretical construction and expert investigation method to systematically construct the dimension of PCK of group cooperative learning.These dimensions are: teachers’ understanding of cooperative learning,teachers’ knowledge about cooperative learning in junior high school students,the teaching design knowledge of group cooperative learning,the implementation strategy of group cooperative learning,the evaluation of group cooperative learning,teachers about promote group cooperative learning technologies and means of knowledge,the knowledge of group cooperative learning situation.And then make it as an reference to investigate teachers’ teaching knowledge of the group cooperative learning.By taking the junior high school physics teachers of Haikou as an example,the research has conducted questionnaires and classroom observation research on the group cooperative learning teaching knowledge.The results of the survey show that the junior high school physics teachers of Haikou be lack of on the dimensions of the group cooperative learning teaching knowledge.In order to construct the group cooperative learning teaching knowledge systematically and improve the teaching quality of cooperative learning group and promote the development of the group cooperative learning.The following strategies are put forward :first of all,we need to improve the physics teachers’ understanding of group cooperative learning;secondly,we should improve the training of the theory of the group cooperativelearning teaching knowledge of the junior high school physics teachers;then we must arrange more cooperative learning group on-site guidance and feedback in time;Finally we need to create the learning community of group cooperative learning.By improving teacher’s teaching ability to promote the development of group cooperation and further to promote the PCK research discipline,localization and thematic.
