Role of the teacher in the implementation of cooperative learning in an integration classroom with deaf students

Abstract

The aim of the present article is to explore the effect of co-operative learning -considering it as an alternative way to the traditional system of acquiring knowledge at school as well as a means to integrate totally or partially deaf students. Therefore, the authors try to observe how co-operative learning impacts upon the relationship of such a group of students. Thus, they check complete and already developed studies and adapt them not only from the point of view of deaf but also non-deaf students. Finally, after obtaining the results of the redesigned studies, they define the teacher’s role in all the co-operative processes involving deaf students.
