This volume contains material on research based teaching techniques
for use in higher education. The focus is on small group learning
procedures. None of this material has previously appeared in book
form. Twenty of the articles first appeared in the Cooperative
Learning and College Teaching newsletter that Jim Cooper and Pamela
Robinson edited from 1990 to 1999. These articles address
applications of small group learning within a variety of academic
disciplines. Authors of the articles in this work include David and
Roger Johnson, Karl Smith, Joe Cuseo, Susan Prescott Johnston,
Spencer Kagan, Rachel Hertz-Lazarowitz, Richard Felder, Barbara
Millis and Lisa Gray-Shellberg. Twelve chapters, never before
published, were solicited for this volume. Some of these works
focus on research and theory in active and small group learning and
others address more applied group work in teaching and learning in
the college classroom. The chapters are more comprehensive than the
newsletter articles and include contributions by David and Roger
Johnson, Karl Smith, Spencer Kagan, Barbara Millis, Joe Cuseo,
Susan Prescott Johnston, Cynthia Desrochers, Mark Maier, Philip
Abrami and Donald Bligh. Topics treated in the new chapters contain
recent work in brain-based learning, critical thinking, student
engagement, information technology, distance education, and
learning communities. Readers of the 2003 book edited by Jim,
Pamela and David Ball, Small Group Instruction in Higher Education:
Lessons from the Past, Visions of the Future, will want to add this
text to their libraries, since none of the material in the current
volume appeared in the 2003 book or the 2009 second edition.
