SMALL STEPS USING COOPERATIVE LEARNING TECHNIQUES IN THE DATABASE MANAGEMENT COURSE: SOME PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

We present two examples of cooperative learning techniques – paired thinking and cooperative groups. We describe the techniques, discuss how they are used in a database classroom, and offer data to demonstrate that learning benefits can be achieved through these techniques. Our preliminary evidence suggests that, contrary to recent research in information systems, these techniques are beneficial. Further, rigid adherence to the guidelines of cooperative learning group designs is not needed to reap the learning benefits.
