Originally published in 1984, this is an account of a two-year
study of four comprehensive school classrooms, where teachers were
fostering collaborative learning methods. The authors draw on their
joint knowledge and experience as a psychologist and a teacher to
give an insight into pupils' perceptions of their schooling, and a
dynamic analysis of the process of education that they experienced.
Working on the premise that successful collaboration demands common
goals and mutual understanding, the author observed pupils at work,
transcribed their talk, and carried out interviews with both pupils
and their teachers. They show how individual children can support
and learn from each other, document the social and psychological
features underlying the use, or non-use, of collaboration, and take
the teachers' own frames of reference as a standpoint in evaluating
success. The authors' findings were intended to encourage teachers
to move away from the traditional view of education as the
transmission of knowledge to passive pupils. Social relationships
within the classroom can potentially be, not merely a source of
disruption, but the basis of learning itself. This possibility is
particularly significant in the context of inner-city schools where
there is often mutual mistrust and hostility across lines of race,
class, gender or ability.
