Book Description
One fundamental task of effective schooling is to enable individual pupils to become active learners who assume responsibility for acquiring knowledge and skill and sustain a pattern of self-directed, lifelong learning" (Wang and Perverly, 1987). Educationists have tried a number of learning approaches to enhance learning of pupils. Some of them have been more effective than others. The learning approaches used in the last three decades include individual learning, peer tutoring, paired learning, collaborative learning, mastery learning and co-operative learning.
