Cooperative learning (CL) is a documented pedagogical practice that promotes academic achievement and socialization. This study reports on the perceptions of 10, middle-year teachers who implemented cooperative learning in a unit of work across two school terms. The data indicated that while the teachers had positive experiences with CL, a number encountered difficulties with implementing it in their classrooms. Issues identified included students socializing during group activities and not working, managing time effectively, and the preparation required.
