Team Learning Roles: A Cooperative Learning Technique

Authors

  • Douglas N. Ross

Abstract

The Team Learning Roles (TLR) model builds upon two cooperative learning techniques --“jigsaw” and role play-- to create a “learning organization” in the classroom. It involves structuring the class into teams of four, five or six persons, each of whom plays a different specialist role. Teams are then responsible for analyzing a case and leading class discussion. The six-step TLR model has proved effective methodology in senior undergraduate business policy courses.
