Uczenie się kooperacyjne – w świetle opinii nauczycieli wczesnoszkolnych
Cooperative learning – in the opinions of early childhood education teachers

Summary/Abstract: Many studies that are currently conducted in the United States and Western Europe, indicate the advantage of cooperative learning over individual learning, which creates conditions for rivalry and competition. It is surprising, therefore, that in Poland there are still few publications and research reports on the subject. The literature available does not present analyses of cognitive effects of interacting with peers; it exposes only the importance of collaborative learning for social and personal development of students. Also, cooperative learning is still rarely used in Polish schools, although it is generally considered as an important element of the constructivist approach to teaching. The aim of this study is to identify the opinions of early childhood education teachers on cooperative learning. The survey results describe teachers’ beliefs on the children’s learning process and the place of cooperative learning in the classroom. They also show how the respondents perceive their role in promoting the cooperation of students in a team when performing the tasks.
