DESCRIPTION:Research on co-operative learning methods has long established
  that pupils learn mathematics significantly better if they work in small 
 groups structured in a specific way. That is\, they learn best if they wor
 k in 4-member groups toward a common goal\, and if achieving that goal dep
 ends on the individual learning of all team members.\n        Recent work 
 in the UK has added to co-operative learning the use of embedded multimedi
 a\, brief video segments to model co-operative behaviours and show how the
 y apply in many contexts. This presentation will review existing research 
 on co-operative learning in maths and will describe a 40-school randomised
  study currently under way evaluating the technology adaptation.
