Abstract
Collaboration is essential in the design field, yet doesn’t always translate as easily to education. This presentation will highlight a case study from a sophomore-level studio course where cooperative learning was used as a model for group project integration. The five basic elements of cooperative learning: positive interdependence, individual and group accountability, interpersonal and small group skills, face-to-face promotive interaction, and group processing (Johnson, Johnson, & Smith 1991), provided a springboard for project implementation and evaluation. Additionally, interviews with fellow design educators provide further tactics and methods for how to introduce and manage collaborative projects, including working with interdisciplinary teams.
