New activities in the NICLEE network:
NICLEE Round Table: A New Approach to Cooperative Learning
In addition to joint publications, we would like to initiate new forms of cooperation between members of our educational network. The first of these new activities, designed to promote live dialogue, is the NICLEE Round Table.
New activities on the website
Pioneers, contemporary researchers, and developers from all major branches of the CL discourse have come together to support the establishment of the NICLEE global network. Over the past six months, we have successfully laid the groundwork for the digital format of this educational network.
Recently, many members of the network have participated in producing two landmark volumes published by Routledge. The first book, "Pioneering Perspectives in Cooperative Learning: Theory, Research, and Classroom Practice for Diverse Approaches to CL" (edited by Neil Davidson), features summary chapters from the pioneers of the CL discourse. This book is also available in a paperback edition!
The second volume, the upcoming "Contemporary Global Perspectives on Cooperative Learning: Applications of CL across Educational Contexts" (edited by Robyn M. Gillies, Barbara Millis, and Neil Davidson), includes contributions from contemporary practitioners.
We have reviewed the first volume on the NICLEE home page, intending to use it as a reference point for professional dialogues about CL. Additionally, we plan to publish reviews of the second volume.
Beyond joint publications, we aim to foster new forms of cooperation among network members. The first of these initiatives, designed to encourage live dialogue, is the NICLEE Round Table.
In this forum, we present a question and invite all network members to contribute a short answer (maximum 300 words). All responses will be published on the NICLEE website. We believe that the simplicity of this activity will enable our busy network members to address issues of shared interest and promote a vibrant dialogue that will influence the CL discourse. We intend to pose a series of questions, and network members are encouraged to suggest their own questions for the NICLEE Round Table.
We begin with one question and invite network members to suggest additional questions for the NICLEE Round Table. Here’s the first question:
Is cooperative learning only a methodology or is it more than that? What do you think?
