This study investigates the use of co-operative learning in the teaching of
mapwork to Geography students in tertiary education.
Diverse methods of teaching Geography mapwork and also theories of learning
that are relevant to the teaching of mapwork are discussed. Co-operative
learning, and how it can be employed in the teaching of mapwork is fully
explained.
The study revealed that co-operative learning method can help students to
achieve higher marks in mapwork. It is an instructional method that uses small
groups of students working together to meet educational goals. The approach
relies on interaction and interdependence and thus is especially suited to higher
level conceptual tasks requiring problem-solving and decision-making. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
