Teachers' attitude and perception towards cooperative learning implementation: Influence of continuing training

The aim was to assess the influence of a training program on teachers' attitudes and perceptions related to the implementation of cooperative learning in educational contexts. This influence was assessed based on the teachers' knowledge area, educational stage, age, gender and years of teaching experience. 990 teachers from 60 schools participated. Results indicated a positive attitude from the teachers, regardless of their subject area or educational stage. However, significant differences were found regarding age and teaching experience. Training has proven to be a powerful predictor of success for the implementation of cooperative learning in educational settings.
