Cooperative learning in Initial Teacher Education: student experiences by Leah O’Toole

“…This often means that, drawing on their ‘apprenticeship of observation’ (Lortie 1975, 2002), student teachers tend not to use such approaches with children (Bąbka 2012), perhaps due to low self-efficacy beliefs about implementing group work in classrooms (Ruys et al. ibid) and so the ‘social pedagogic potential’ of classroom and indeed university-based learning is therefore unrealised (Blatchford et al. 2003). …”
