facilitating 21st century skills through Cooperative Learning
Introducing Cooperative Learning to university lecturers
On Wednesday 11 November 2015, University of East Anglia's School of Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies succesfully trialled the structural approach to Cooperative Learning, to facilitate the effective student-centred learning looked for at tertiary level. The interview with Professor Lee Marsden was made on 10 February 2016 before the second, 4-hour instalment.
Werdelin Education has tailored these two CPD session to meet the diverse requirements of Professor Marsden's newly reformed school.
The School brings together staff and students studying a wide range of subjects including politics, international relations, broadcast journalism, media, public policy, philosophy, language competency, intercultural communication and translation studies.
The School is interdisciplinary bringing together teaching and research strengths in these areas and developing a growing reputation for intercultural communication through the history of ideas, philosophical thinking, language and understanding the power, meaning and practice of communication.
This very complexity makes School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies uniquely suited to leverage the multifarious benefits of Cooperative Learning.
‘‘One student, not entirely in jest, told me that ‘he had learnt more through that one exercise than he had learnt throughout his degree.’ The session went very well and will become part of my regular teaching practice.’’

Extract from Session 1 lesson outline:
By the end of this lesson, participants will be able to use the strategies demonstrated to facilitate their own lesson objectives, using their own materials, and will understand how to use Cooperative Learning to integrate monitoring and to secure written assessment.
The lesson will present practical Cooperative Learning in the overall context of student-centred learning as a discrete subject (on par with philosophy, linguistics, politics, or languages) through Cooperative Learning, with parallel meta-reflections.
An ancillary objective throughout this lesson is to prove current strategies, including questioning techniques, are instantly applicable to Cooperative Learning, to support the work of CSED and other relevant CPD.
