Chalk-And-Talk versus Cooperative Learning. A Comparative Study

Innovative teaching methods such as collaborative learning, teamwork and mind maps were introduced to a Statistics course at tertiary level and compared to traditional teaching methods. These innovative teaching strategies, which are considered generic and therefor applicable in any educational environment, proved to be successful. Collaboration and teamwork is an important factor in the development of lifelong learning skills. An adapted version of Soft Systems Methodology was used to manage the research process.
