摘要：This study is intended to describe teachers' understanding and implementation as well as their thinking of cooperative learning in social studies education. The researcher worked with 15 primary school teachers in Victoria, Australia. Data were collected by using an open ended questionaire, observation of classroom practice and non-structured inverview following the observation. Then, the data were analysed by using content analysis method.
