interconnectedness is central to holistic learning (Miller, 1993).Cooperative Learning. Cooperative learning is a structured learning strategy in which smallgroups of students work toward a common goal (Cooper, et al., 1994). Cooperative learning isan old concept [Ercolano, 1994]. Extensive research, initiated in the late 1800s, hasdemonstrated significant advantages of cooperative learning over competitive and individualisticlearning in various learning characteristics; these include [Johnson et al., 1991]: high-levelreasoning; generation of new ideas and solutions; motivation for learning; personalresponsibility; and student retention.Cooperative learning provides structures [Kagan, 1990] to engage students in meaningfulactivities that can be shared with
