Cooperative learning has been widely used in teaching and one of the main characteristics is heterogeneous grouping. However, many studies on cooperative learning have paid much attention on the performance of discipline influenced by the process-product paradigm so that the nature in heterogeneous cultural diversity has not been explored. Due to the trend of political and social openness and globalization, the school students’learning gap shaped by cultural capital has promoted educational reform to respond to students’cultural background. The core concepts of 12-year educational reform, spontaneity, interaction and common goodness, have similar expectations with cooperative learning and culturally responsive teaching. Cooperative learning emphasizes interaction through heterogeneous grouping, with a special focus on students’academic abilities and social skills. Spontaneity and interaction are its main axis. Culturally responsive teaching is based on students’culture, recognized students’difference and leads to the establishment of a fair and just learning society. Spontaneity and common goodness are its core values. Although cooperative learning is a well-known term, it has also been given new expectations in the context of soci-cultural change. This paper first explains the characteristics of culturally responsive teaching, then discusses the theoretical basis of cooperative learning in culturally responsive learning, and finally puts forward the principles for constructing culturally responsive cooperative learning. It is expected to attain reform goals in terms of spontaneity, interaction and common goodness by reinterpret the cultural responsive nature of cooperative learning by guiding students’social skills, inducing self-directed learning and enhancing cultural literacy. |
