Implementing Cross-Culture Pedagogies: Cooperative Learning at Confucian Heritage Cultures
During the last two decades Confucian heritage culture countries have widely promoted teaching and learning reforms to advance their educational systems. To skip the painfully long research stage, Confucian heritage culture educators have borrowed Western philosophies and practices with the assumption that what has been done successfully in the West will produce similar outcomes in the East. The wide importation of cooperative learning practices to Confucian heritage culture classrooms recently is an example. However, cooperative learning has been documented in many studies not to work effectively in Confucian heritage culture classrooms.
Visual Strategies for Active Learning This practical handbook shows you how to use graphic organizers across the curriculum, as well as for planning, instruction, and assessment.

Unlock the door to successful teamwork! This classic, best-selling book on cooperative learning started a revolution in education. It’s the book that introduced the world to Numbered Heads Together, Three-Step Interview, RoundTable and dozens of Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures. The structures are simple to use as part of any lesson, yet produce unparalleled student gains. Thousands of teachers, schools, and districts worldwide use Kagan Cooperative Learning to boost academic achievement, close the achievement gap, improve student relations, promote thinking skills, and create a more kind and caring school community.
The presented work combines two areas of research: cooperative game theory and lot size optimization. One of the most essential problems in cooperations is to allocate cooperative profits or costs among the partners. The core is a well known method from cooperative game theory that describes efficient and stable profit/cost allocations. A general algorithm based on the idea of constraint generation to compute core elements for cooperative optimization problems is provided. Beside its application for the classical core, an extensive discussion of core variants is presented and how they can be handled with the proposed algorithm.
